I watched both videos ( the one by Speed Phenom and the one made by the dealership). I actually enjoyed both very much. It truly doesn't bother me in the least how he got the car or how he paid for it. I say good for him and Iam happy that he is happy. I have never been envious of other people's success as I just try to learn by how they achieve it. I learned several things on the 2 videos. 1. The lead salesman said he wanted to make sure that the "suspension blocks" were removed. 2. I found it interesting how he closed the trunk. 3. I found it interesting how to operate the hood pins, my only question would be is should you pop them at the same time or does it not really matter??? If you're by yourself like me then that would present a problem. My last 6 or 7 muscle cars have all been Jet Black and that is the best color by far but because Iam now getting older I went with the Race Red and Black Dual Stripes. You just can't keep a black car clean no matter how hard you try. Hope this finds all you guys doing well.To all of you bitching about Austin, here are some facts...
He got this car despite being a YouTube. He gets nothing free from ford and has no special privileges. Those people with special privileges have October cars. And we all know what's happening with those. He originally ordered a fully specced Track Pack but it wasn't due till spring so he spent hours and hours calling every dealership in the country and put deposits down on several to try to make sure he got one of the early cars. Because that's his job. To get a car to create content for his channel. He then flew himself out to MI (from CA) to take delivery.
We know each other well and no one is more surprised then he is. We expected mine to come way sooner. My Track Pack is number 0199 (an October build) and Ford are holding these indefinitely with no explanation. This sucks and is incredibly annoying. But that has nothing to do with Austin getting his car.
As to how he pays for it? No idea. I know he works his ass off creating content and is a total Ford/Shelby enthusiast. He is a great driver and tracks his cars regularly and will be tracking the GT500.
Love his channel or not, attacking him personally because you're upset your car hasn't arrived or you can't afford one is not an adult or humane thing to do.
So let's focus on getting an answer from Ford as to where our October cars are!
Cheers all.
