Just The Basic Facts

Went to the 1st day of the National MCA Show today.
I know it get's old..."S550 IS SO MUCH BETTER IN PERSON". I was very skeptical I could be blown away after looking at a ((Gazillion)) pictures over the last few months.
Spoke with the guy who brought the LE from Dearborn.
Informed him I had ordered a LE in WW, just like the beauty sitting in front of us. Asked him if I could sit in it for a few minutes to see how the seats felt. He said, come back at 5:00pm when the show is closing and he would let me then.
I showed up at 5:00. Got to sit behind the wheel. The thing that jumped out to me, was how fantastic the fit & finish of "ALL" the interior looked. The stitching, the feel of the seats & overall appearance was above par, for a car in this price range...I even liked the overhead plastic that so many complain about. The seats are just about perfect, they feel soft & cushiony with just the right amount of firmness. The bolsters reminded me of the Recaro's in my previous 12 BOSS. For a daily driver these are the seats to have, IMO.
Then he surprises me-->:shocked:
He informed me he had to put the car back in the enclosed trailer for the night, & would I like a ride to the trailer and help him put it away for the night...:bolt:
He fires up the car, revs it up several times for the crowd and yours truly, What a "RUSH" it gave me + the Crowd (could tell by the expressions on faces)
The sound of the exhaust was pure music to my ears. We traveled down a row of Mustangs of every version & year imaginable with their owners all stopping what they were doing and starring at us, as we slowly moved on, he would push the clutch in, Rev the engine, giving everyone a listen to the exhaust note as we rode along.
We work our way over to another section, not too many cars around. W/O warning, he Nails it, planting my body into the seat like a space shuttle at take off, reminded me of my Boss and how much fun 3:73s are.
I felt like a kid on Christmas Morning-->
If I wasn't already convinced of purchasing the S550, this would've been the "Take My Money Now & Give Me The Key-Fob" part of the dance.
Well, I said it was a short ride, but it was Fabulous-->Now the wait is gonna be even tougher because I know it's the car for me-->Thanks-->:ford:
