I did it today I ordered my new 2005 GT Silver premium with medium parchment interior I got it for $500 under MSRP + the AQHA $500 . I sold my 2001 GT a few weeks ago and the withdrawal was starting to get to me. I was going to wait until the middle of year but when I finally got to see one with my own eye’s that was it.

Damn! Why can't I get a deal like that? Did you have a Ford "plan"?

No I just have been talking to them about the new mustang for about 6 months so I think they just gave me the $500 off to keep me happy and they gave me a print out of eligible affiliate programs and the only one I could use was the AQHA. It cost me $35 to become a member I have to wait one month to use the rebate but the car won't be in for 6 to 8 weeks and I think 10 to 12 is more likely. The sales men lives around the corner and he said I can take his 2003 Mach 1 for a spin.

Confession

The last Ford I owned was a 66 Mustang. I have been a corvette fan for many years but have been driving trucks for a long time. I decided to have a little more fun and put my name on the local list for the new c6 vette. With in the last few days i have seen the new vette and the new Mustang in person for the first time and what a shocker. The vette was fugly but the Mustang just took me back. long story short the Mustang has been ordered and the vette cancelled. Can't wait!

The internals of new Vette are awesome (engine, suspension, structure, packaging, etc. But in the flesh it somehow leaves me cold. It just seems to be lacking a "presence" in it's body styling.

Sorry if my post was a bit wordy. I agree the body style was just not what I had hoped for.

I only needed to put down $300 to order the car. My plan is to put down a total of $8000 and that should make my payments about $330 and my insurance will be about the same a car and a truck for $1500 a year.

It seems like a nice low-speed place to relax but everyone seems to be on edge about EVERY little thing. I don't let it bother me though, I'm enjoying it while I can. Oh yeah, we can't "Be all we can be" now because we are too busy being "An Army of One"! HOOAH!
