wheeee!!!! a 'matched set'!!!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

That is amazing! Are you just kidding around or are you serious. This is no joking matter!

Very Good Kristen !

8 weeks,I guess you are ordering it instead of one off the showroom floor.
Getting it exactly like Peter wants. :)

If you are getting Peter one:rolleyes: Will you adopt me:LOL:

Most excellent. I am sure this is goign to be an interesting addition to the family. Are the boys in on it or did you do this one all by your lonesome???

Congrats!!!

I have NV. :D :D :D

COOL :cool:
NV also.

Very cool!!! I wish I could get my wife Maria something like that, but I doubt 3 car seats would fit in the back.

Couldn't you get blue w/ white stripes?


Mat Twiehaus

Sweeeeeeet Hlc

Dean, everybody that knows me knows I'm very very serious, unless I'm joking!!!! :eek: no joke....... :D

Fred, ordered it, because the one they have on the floor had an awful lot of options with an awful lot of extra money! It was red, tho', and i already got a red mustang!!!! :eek: (it has a Roush trim package, one of a kind custom wheels, billet hood louvers... on and on!)
NOT FOR PETER!! Peter hasn't driven the '65 mustang yet.... can't quite picture him in a 6 speed, 500 hp shelby!! yikes!! Reluctantly will let David drive it.... maybe..... almost 3 years on the cobra and he's yet to drive it!!!

Mike. Adopt you?? hmmm. are you over 18?? available for carpool??? :D

tru. sorry it won't be here when you come visit in a couple of weeks. pity, really!

Dave. yup. kewl. :D :MECOOL: hehehe.

Mat. 3 car seats in the back??? nah.... man I have been there!! I am done with car seats!!! yea!!! Time for the fun machine!!!! :LOL:
sure i could get blue with white stripe. Already GOT a car that's blue with white stripes!! wanted something different. Jumped out there and got WHITE WITH BLUE STRIPES!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: The dealer also has a grabber orange with black on order. hmmmm. Just wasn't quite what i was looking for.
I'm into good ol American red white and blue.... ;)

Greg. Sweet it is! thanks!!!! 8 weeks is a long time... I'll post pictures. :D

:)

Kristen,

That is great and a beautiful car. Once you get it I will be asking a hundred questions as I would really love to have one but can't get a straight answer from any of the dealers out here plus I won't pay $20K above MSRP.

Ron :)

thanks, Ron! really excited about it! Kind of a long story about WHY i'm getting it. Maybe post it later. :) Has something to do with the Cobra, tho'. I have my cake and can eat it too!!!

$20k over? no way!!! $10k over?? no way! It's over sticker, even a little more over than i wanted, but not too bad. I wouldn't get it if i didn't think it was a reasonable price. Well now that's relative i guess. :JEKYLHYDE Reasonable to me and reasonable to someone else could be different. I could wait til next fall, next year even, and yeah, i know, they will drop.... but I understand that, and considered it.

Now I'm trying to figure out the garage situation! :D

edit to add: Been considering it since the day it came out. Thought about a lot of sedans/coupes. Just like the Cobra, and just like the '65 Mustang, this car pulled me to it. :) I could hear it calling.... "Kristen, take me home... Kristen, here I am!!"

You see, when i bought those raffle tickets for the '65 Mustang- I probably would have bought a few if Steve F. or anybody had been raffling off a Cobra, or some other cool/muscle car. Not a lot; No other car was pulling at me. The LCS raffle car. Yeah, i bought a few tickets, but another Cobra just doesn't interest me. I have always bought a few raffle tickets for ANY car being given away- locally at car shows, high schools doing raffles, whatever. But that '65 Mustang just called to me. It was almost providential. I remember all the bantering back and forth on those couple of threads about who was going to win that car. We were ALL joking around about it!! But I remember many many times me saying I was gonna win it... lots of jokes about that. And then lo and behold, I did. I FELT like i would win it! yeah, the guy down the street could have won it, but i guess my point is, i wouldn't have sent a $500 check to the Red Cross if i didn't feel pulled to it. Yeah, probably $50. or something. So, folks can say whatever they like about me buying THIS '07 Mustang, but there is a very specific reason and purpose to why i want it. No, I don't need it... we all know that... but I have been following the thread that was in the lounge closely, (when it was still active, up to a month or so ago) and did a little research, and yup, pulled the trigger, so to speak!
I'm really happy about my decision! :)

Probably more of a dissertation than most wanted to read, but there it is. Also, the colors HAD to be opposite... I am just a LITTLE o/c. :LOL:

Cannot wait to follow it thru production. :D my Ford guy is gonna love me. Wish I could get pictures, just like the folks do that have pics of their cobras being built. hmmmm. Where do they build the Mustangs??? :LOL:

thanks, again for the happy posts!!! :D

edit to add on Sunday night....:
hey, I miswrote this morning when I wrote what i was paying over sticker. Not really accurate, sorry. I don't think ANYBODY is paying the 'base sticker' of $45K or so. I think they will rot on the sales floor before they sell them for that. :eek:
Anyway, I feel comfortable with what I am paying for the car, and didn't want to mislead anybody that I was only paying a little over sticker. Yes, I could wait ANOTHER YEAR and see if the price drops a bit, but that isn't my plan. Very sorry for the misleading post!
Kristen :)

Relative to this, we took the 220 MPH clusters to the track for a "refit and try" type thing and the silver with wide black stripes is very impressive looking.

Down right nasty!!!

Congrats HLC, next you need one of these.................................

At first I thought you were pregnant. But the picture of that baby is fantastic. If you ever want to adopt a kid that is potty trained, and can cook, I'm available. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

added a few thoughts to above post. Thought it sounded like I was misleading ya'll on the sticker/my price. Sorry! After I re-read it this evening it didn't sound right. What i pay for it IS my business, but I feel like it's an acceptable price. :)
thanks!
K

oh yes. Warren- perish the thought!! :eek: :eek: all my babies these days have 4 wheels not two feet!! :D

Now you will have to decide what to drive at MidAmerica in Tulsa this year. Congratulations!!! Hope to see you there.

Well done mate. Whoaa a little beauty to have the garage there.

Look forward to seeing it soon.

Kristen,

Saw your favorate dealer today and he confirmed your GT500 order. I offered him another 2,000 and he said no it's yours...........only kidding!

yea!!!
we played phone tag last night and today....
he called me up while i was working the concession stand at the 8th grade basketball game at school!! :LOL:
Gave me the 'good news' that I'm getting the earlier one, not the later one.
yea!!!
mid-to late march. hmmmm, hope not while we're in Austin!! :eek:
(I wouldn't miss Austin; the car will still be here when i get home...)

I asked him if it would be unreasonable for me to be able to get pictures of the build-- he said he'd tried to swing it.
you know, the perpetual scrapbooker. :D :D

Surprised he didn't take up your offer on another $2K. That's what I kept trying to whittle off...
hoping he'll put on a clear'bra' protector. :D (like on Matt's GT)

keep checking on it for me, thanks!!!!
:) :)
Kristen
