Currently in Sonoma County
Large landscape facilities? :??: lol

Here is where I live:

DeKalb County, Indiana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fort Wayne is a few miles south, but I haven't been there since I bought the car. I'm actually still on my first tank of gas. Just under a quarter.

I tried launch control again tonight as well as the 'track use only' 0-60 timer...

something didn't work right,,,told me 9.3 :rockon:

There are a number a number of cat scales in fort wayne. If you can make the trip it would be much appreciated. However family and work come first!:beer:

As I'm sure most of you know, I was somehow granted title of the luckiest son of a bitch in the Mustang community the other day.

I'm hoping maybe someone can tell me how to tell the order of production. I'd assumed it's based somehow off of the VIN.

Also, is there any way to determine if my car was indeed the FIRST consumer order recieved?


When I received my 2010 in June 2009 it was one of the first models made and I can tell you now that I was glad to get rid of it. I got my 2012 in Aug 2010 and haven't had one problem with it. Hopefully yours won't have the problems that might occur with something new. So when you start having problems later on for being one of the first ones don't come crying. Just think about it, would try only put your car on a train or truck and just ship out only one. DUH

Where'd that come from? Also, I don't know what you're trying to say in the last sentence.

I saw a silver w/stripes on another site about 2 days before you got yours so if yours wasn't first, it was one the first few.

I still stand by the fact that Grabber blue does not photograph as well as some of the other colors.

It's a bit darker in person, and it literally grabs the eyeballs of people walking/riding by.

I don't think you'll go wrong with either color though.

EDIT: when the original DIB pictures on the GT500 came out, I had planned on changing my order to it instead of Grabber Blue. But I eventually went with my gut feeling and I'm glad. I saw DIB on the lot a few weeks ago on a GT, and it was a sort of dark day out *no direct sun light* and I just didn't like the way it looked.

I'm a huge fan of grabber blue. I can not wait to see it with the black stripes in person. I use to have a laguna seca blue BMW M3. So I'm partial to that color I guess.

I did the same thing, went and looked at a GT DIB. What sold me on GB is when my wife said "I like that purple color"..... I don't think it's purple, but it does seem to have a purple tint to it, in certain light.
