So let me get this straight, you bought a 2016 GTPP at the end of December 2015 1 month ago knowing your R was built and coming in at the end of January? and no posts about the VIN or being built? Car just shows up, and you go get it? wow.....Strange....and congrads:shrug:...So much for no R's in JAN FEB huh?..lol

I'm so lost. What just happened? Other than the GF saying you cant have any if you're looking at three chicks in bikinis online.

Yes. I ordered the R in June and was daily driving my 2000 Lightning while I waited on the R to be built. Then, in December, my job situation changed from where I would be working from home to where I would be having a 60 mile round-trip commute, so I sold the Lightning and picked up a 2016 GT/PP as a daily driver.

As I have stated on this site several times, I did not inquire at any point in it's production where it was in priority. I knew it would get here when it got here and did not care at all about tracking every stage along the way. I didn't know it had been built, let alone delivered to the dealer, until they texted me this afternoon.

LOL, no, I do not. Yes, these pics were taken pre-PDI at the dealership, but it is the car I ordered. Look, do a google on my screen name and you'll see I've owned plenty of cars like this previously.

Well that's good. It's consistent with the info I got of where it was being delivered.

Enjoy it. Hopefully we will cross paths. Would love to see if I feel the same way after not getting the allocation as promised and compare it to the 350 I ended up getting.

I love my car, but of everything on the R I wanted the most was the wheels.

Congrats man!

My Gt350 showed up today also, and your R was on the truck. I would look your rear tires over. The truck driver said he had a lot of trouble with getting on the truck without spinning the tires. My cousin said he saw some chunks of rubber missing on the rear tires.

Yet another loaded incorrectly.
