I have a feeling that come the end of April there will be one heck of a festive mood in here!

Dude...I'm goin nuts here, gotta build date of the week 4/16 and prob a couple weeks after that. With the weather turning I'm seeing out on the road now. Everyone here at Ford wants me to bring it right inside our bld so they can check it out. I don't know about others but it's all I'm thinkin about it seems.

To date these are the things I have purchased/setup for when my car gets here.

Clear Bra and window tint

RPI GS front Splash Guards

Skip Shift Eliminator

Leave in Jacking pucks

My wife bought me some driving shoes that just came today.

I still need to find a car cover for when it is in the garage.

Also need to select a set of detail products but I am not sure what I will need or can use with the clear bra.

I'm considering M2W but since I will be living right next to a state trooper and will live in a very controled HOA I might wait on that.

Gotta tell my wife about "Smell A"...she's from there and thinks it's the best city on the West Coast.

It's not that wild at lower rpm, and you can turn it on/off as you wish.

Did any of you order the NCM photo album? I can't decide. The order must be placed at least 5 days before the car starts being built.

Lori confirmed that if you order the photo album, she will email teaser photos of your car coming off the line and the odometer reading "0". So tempting...
