Well, hack authors usually delete what suits them, no? Sorry if i don't give much credibility to some kid who visits his local dealer to test drive whatever they may have on the lot at the time. Still wonder why they let him keep posting his dull, and completely irrelivant drivel on this site, let alone on theirs. I know quite a few people who majored in creative writing that put this guy to shame. Kinda knows cars, kinda can write, and can kinda get access to a car to review. Lots of kindas to be gettin' a paycheck. Clock's tickin', bub...

Odd. All of my comments directed at P have been deleted, leaving only his twisted view on reality in the comments section... What gives DC?

6000 lb. trailers. EB vs. 5.0. Wanna see!

I feel as though this thread is cutting into mlhm's market share...

Well... So far Mark is the only one to not post on this thread! Was the Crown Vic killed prematurely? What do you think about the Cortina? Thoughts on the UAW?

Well then, you had better change your signature again before you have to buy something... :reading:

Soooo... There are no bad plumbers, electricians, roofers, engineers, or cops?

Okay. First off. Vehicle visibility didn't tell us shit about when the Mustang was coming in (which was the initial bitch that started this merry-go-round). It just told us they were sitting in a lot with a ETA of "TBD".... And yes we, the dealers were the ones on the front lines looking stupid with no answers. We were the ones trying to keep these people calm. Ambassadors, bub.. So, no offense, Viper, but you can stick the vehicle visibility argument... And guess what. If Ford tried some "Bold Moves", and got rid of the dealer network, guess what... People would stop buying Fords when they ran into a salesman AT A DEALER. The fanatical bunch of us here represents a sliver of the clueless buyers that wander aimlessly into a dealership. These people need to be sold, or someone else will sell them instead. As much as you all seem to despise salesman, we are the ones preaching quality improvements, styling, and value when the people are on the lot ready to pull the trigger. I can't tell you how many times I played the "no pressure, nice-guy" role just to have the people tell me they bought from the whorehouse up the street. Unfortunately, nice guys finish last. I don't want people to find a pro at the Nissan store. I don't want them to even make it to their front door. THAT'S our job. Put these people in Fords. Without Ford having an experienced dealer network, these people will buy from the first hammer they run into. Sorry, but it's true. Don't hate the player and all that... You all seem to think that selling cars is pretty easy. Do you know how many weaker salespeople I've outlasted to keep my job? And my degree consisted of "sell a car keep your job". So, I may not need the qualifications to get into the business, but you better bet yer ass I'd better be qualified to stay in it. I've seen plenty of guys with degrees get crushed and bounced out the door without selling even one car. A degree don't mean squat here. You'll fail if you can't sell. Period. BTW, Viper. Nothing against you at all, you're a huge help here for alot of folks, and I like 'ya... But you're wrong here.

Wow. How long did it take you to come up with THAT gem of a business model? Do you have to be at least this tall to do holeshots in a Mustang? Ohhh... Maybe they could build a racetrack at this automotive wonderland as well... And an offroad course!!! Just try not to get your Dippin' Dots on the upholstery!

Your car sucks! You need glasses! MEH!! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!

Annnnnnnnnnnnd...... You're a dick. Congrats!

You got punk'd..... Again!

THAT'S the issue... <where's my nail on head emoticon?>

Ahem.... Uhhhhh.... EXPLORER!! ... <heh!>

The dealers are as in the dark as all of you. Our Ford rep assured us that the car was on hold, and should be released very soon. That's all. We need a seperate section in the Forums for these angry Mustang buyers. You readin' this, Ford?

THAT'S a bit extreme. BTW: Hypocrite is not a race. Being called an hypcrite is not racism. And I don't think they close threads when someone loses an argument.

They are on hold currently. Ford is making sure the car is right before they give it to you. Many others are upset as well, but be patient. I know you want the car for your birthday, and I hope you get it (my birthday's in July <hint-hint>), but wouldn't it just SUCK to be in a Camaro the day after your birthday, and get smoked by the guy driving your Mustang?????......

Sorry, Fritz. The comments were aimed more at the posts in the original thread. That being said, I didn't realize that the Mustang had been held that long. We got a few in initally,and have some that have been in hock for about two weeks, but it sounds like you're being more than patient. Understand that your dealer is most likely not being told much either. Much of this is to keep word from getting out of "quality issues", but believe me.... I wish I could tell my customers something as well. In the end, nobody else is getting them either, so you'll still most likely be the first guy on the block with the new hotness. I'm sure you'll get your car soon. Good luck!

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmm............. Cake....

<sigh> No, Ray. The Mustangs are on hold for an undetermined issue. The only thing that hasn't changed is people who obviously know more about the car business than the people in it. Armchair crybabies, if you will.

...And I say it is entirely possible to design a strut tower brace that accomodates a shaker hood. It's been done dozens of times before.

They're all on hold. Should hopefully be figured out soon.

Ummmm... Is everybody forgetting about the 2011 GT500? The 2010 GT500 was tested at VIR and lap times were compared to the Vette. The GT500 was 2/10ths of a second slower than the Vette, at roughly the same price. The 2011 reportedly shaved 9 seconds off the 2010's time at the same track. Sounds like, short of jumping up to the six-figure ZR-1, the Vette already has it's hands full. Hmmm... With a 9 second advantage, it might be a better race if you brought three friends along for the ride!

ok. sOMEBODY CHOP THIS WITH OUR FRONT END SPY PHOTOS, AND WE'RE ALL SET! dAmN cApS lOcK!

Yes. I'm a lemming because I like the commercial with a Mustang doing powerslides and don't mind the fact that it gets 31MPG. Maybe you should complain about the location of the shoot, too... Quit bein' a bitch, dude. And before you start about "immature name calling", remember that you called me a lemming... Oops. Too late. Your hypocracy is a bright and shining star my friend. Heh-heh...
