Congrats! Any pictures? Thoughts on your car? You happy :D
Took one in the dealer garage but it was too dark outside to get any good shots. Will take more tomorrow.

Thoughts: the car is phenomenal. The seats are astoundingly good; the interior is WAY better than the S197, just worlds better. Everything feels high-quality. Oh, and for people debating the 68b package -- get it. The premium leather (50th Anniversary Package is the same) is so supple it's amazing.

Agree with everybody who says the sound quality with the Shaker Pro audio is better with the "Driver" focus setting, it sounds plenty good to me. Car drives beautifully; I haven't pushed it too hard, although I couldn't help myself and did do one acceleration run to redline at 35 miles on the odometer. IRS is a huge upgrade over rough pavement. Only downsides so far are that the exhaust is really even quieter than I was expecting (you could rev it in a library and nobody would look up) and the transmission seems to give a bit more engine breaking than you'd expect.

Great to hear! Glad you're enjoying it. Not to mention, it arrived faster than you expected it:cheers:

I was supposed to pick up my car today. My saleswomen called me in the morning and said there is a noise coming from the dash and they need to order parts to fix it.

I went in to look at the car, first thing I notice is it's filthy. They hadn't detailed the car yet because they knew it would need repair. It was completely covered in a thick layer of dust, and the saleswomen said that was there when they took the plastic off. Even the interior was quite dusty and dirty, the whole thing just looked grimy. Maybe that's a bad sign, or maybe they just get that dirty getting shipped clear across the country.

I started the car and sure enough there was a high pitch buzz coming from the dash. It almost sounds like high frequency static from the radio system, but I think it's more than that. Playing around with things I found when the heated seats were turned on the noise got louder and deeper in tone.

I took it for a quick test drive, it still had all the plastic covering the seats, and gauges and it had windows stickers on both sides. So it was hard to judge the overall test drive.

The service guys aren't in until Monday, so I won't know until then what they think the problem is and how long it will take to fix.

Congrats to everyone who has received their car on this thread. Jimmy Reading through this thread We both ordered from the same dealer who was the sales person that took care of you?

For my original order from Smithtown Ford that I cancelled, I don't even remember. From Sayville Ford, Jack Frost. He's fantastic, really a great guy to deal with.

Looks great dude!

My EDD changed yet again, #8 now. I just wish it would get out of the heavily populated areas and start making some real progress.

As of this morning it was in a Chicago suburb.

Thanks! I'm especially fond of the fuzzy dice.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it gets there as soon as possible! Just know that it's definitely worth the wait.

I'm ready to seek and destroy and do some damn donuts!

I just ordered one of those Maisto 1:18 models, it will have to hold me over until my car shows up.
