According to the discussions on Brad's site, the 2005 Mustang was approved for shipping on Friday afternoon, October 1. Several people claim that they have started to ship as of today, Monday Oct 4.

One of the sources is a Ford employee who got the word from a relative who works at AAI. He goes on to say that NO defective 4.6L V8 engines were ever shipped to AAI.

Another source of this info. was a dealer person who said that their regional Ford rep. confirmed the OK to ship status today.

AAI is not working 2 x 10 hour production shifts per day producing 2005 Mustangs (and Mazda 6s).

That means that Ford fixed the oil consumption problems with the heads. That's good.

No, it doesnt mean that they fixed the head....because that whole story was complete . There is no evidence of these problems anywhere. The BON article has been proven WRONG.

TROLL!!!

so which troll are you today?


Blue Troll - A relatively benign species of troll, interested primarily in the gathering and dissemination of useful and interesting trolling related information. Also referred to as a "troll scholar."

Bee Troll - These trolls are very annoying. A species much like the above, but unfortunately, has an irresistible streak inside them that will not let them idly pass up a spelling mistake without correcting it.

Grey Troll - One who posts an inflammatory comment, and then falsely claims later that they were asking a legitimate question.

Viva-Troll - Who subsists on a diet of straight caffein, and sugar injections. These trolls usually embroil themselves in a flame war, then post a "comeback" after every post by other users, any time of day, or night.

Math Troll - These Trolls are strictly lawful, believing victory can only be obtained through the sheer number of posts they've made. To ensure their victory in a battle, they will often post singular sentences over numerous posts, to counter one persons idea. These trolls are extremely annoying, and dangerous, seeing as how they continue to attack at every turn, but say very little at what it is they are attacking. These trolls are always desperate for the "last word."

Rip Van Troll - Who wakes up in time to be in the middle of a flamewar, and decides to repost the first message on his/her newsreader with a nasty comment, while the world has already moved beyond the first post (whatever it may be) and delved into the deep psychology of Gary Gygax.

High Cleric Troll - These trolls are fully capable of resurrecting old flamewars and starting them fresh, simply by laying on hands, and a few words of wisdom. Unfortunately for us, their following is extremely large.

Anti-Troll (AKA Troll Hunter) - A special type of hunter that has Trolls as their species enemy and will fixate on flaming a specific Troll and being rude to all other Trolls sometimes alienating friends and allies in his quest to rid the world of Trolls, or die trying.

Doppleganger Troll - This troll is really a regular in the newsgroup he's posting in, but in times when he wishes to troll, he enlist a proxy and assumes another email address and takes upon a separate identity. He sometimes enters the thread as his old self to try to confuse other posters into not believing it's really him 8)

Cowardly Troll - This type of troll is quite obvious, but when a poster calls him a troll and points it out to him, this troll vehemently denies trolling and insists that he's enlightening the masses.

Ego Troll - Who seems to reply to his own comments or question under another personality. He starts a flamewar against himself hoping some people will hate and insult one of the two. He also likes waffles.

Noble Troll - This troll does his best to make an entire newsgroup into one huge flamewar. But, what separates this troll from the others is that this troll takes pride in being a troll and even starts to brag on a newsgroup that he gets fan mail. These trolls think their actions are works of art much like a Michaelangelo.

Impotent Troll - An ineffective troll who is genuinely malicious and malevolent, but the newsgroup readers regard him as comical in its monotonous rantings. He is usually highly susceptible to counter-trolling.

Pseudo-Troll - That's the type who after getting brutally trolled and caught hook line and sinker, posting response after response to trolling, claims that, in actuality, THEY are the troll, trolling the original troll by pretending to be really worked up and upset at the troll.

Do you even bother to read what anyone posts?

Read my post again. NO bad engines were ever shipped to AAI for use in 2005 Mustangs.

Go find a Toyta or Dodge site so start bitching on. They're the ones that actually have engines with oiling problems.

It looks like the 2005 Mustangs are going somewhere. This was posted on Brad's site by an AAI production line worker:

Hey Y'all!!! Didn't even know we had got the ok to ship on Friday!!! Was wanting to work this past wekend, guess my senority didn't carry though. Would've been nice to have worked 'cause a lot of cars got moved around and when I did go in last nite, I could tell there was some missing!! Don't have any pics or figures, but it sure looks like quite a few have gone somewheres!!

He had previously posted after his shift last Thursday that the holding lot was pretty much full.

I've got a buddy who works at A.A.I. I'll call him in the morning and find out when and if they have started shipping them yet.
