And, likely, GM, Ram, Audi, Nissan........just a rough time right now.

Oh absolutely, everyone is pulling out all the stops right now

I don't know if I should laugh at that or not?

It’s all good. Just another setback. I’ll get the car eventually. Shit happens

My order for a GTP was accepted October 23. About how long does it take to get a build date reply from Ford.

I ordered my premium in July, I got a build date this week.

Converted my Premium to GT. Took dealer 4 weeks to update the order from MY21 to MY22 and make the change. Got the dealer confirmation screenshot Wednesday 11/3/21 with priority 10. Original order date 8/14 is still valid. Hoping I will get my place back in line and get scheduled next week.

Christ. I got a build date less than 2 months after reserving. Theres really no standard. Everyones experience has been different.

I find it incredibly admirable that you are able to laugh at it in the big picture of life. I do think the last couple of years have shown us all how unrealistic things were in the "before times." It's a car, they can replace the piece of plastic and you'll be right as rain. I am looking forward to you taking delivery and enjoying your GT!

Ha yeah thanks. I’m pretty resilient. I get mad then I get over it. I’ve lived through a child getting cancer and surviving. I’ve been through the ringer in many other ways and came out with my sense of humor in tact. You’re right, it’s a car. It sucks what happened but the dealer is going to make it right. Not sense brooding over it

It was an ordeal, but Fenrir is finally home. 3 1/2 hours at the dealership. They had to learn how to do Ford Options, but everything worked out in the end. I'll take some better pictures tomorrow in the daylight and post them on the DMG thread. I guess this is my goodbye from this thread!

Seriously, just a great attitude to have, huge respect. Stupid car problems are nothing compared to a child having cancer, I'm happy to hear that you made it through that. I'm also in a contemplative mood for sure, my dad has maybe 24-48 hours left after going from having almost no major health problems a month ago to being on death's door because of his cancer. I'm flying down tomorrow and it's going to be a rough week. But he's 79 and had a good life, I can't imagine my feelings if my 7YO daughter had cancer and was going through the same situation.

But to get back to it, very excited for you to get your car. My GT has been just fantastic in the last couple of weeks since I took delivery, a little bit of light in the darkness for sure. My daughter absolutely loves it in every way, she likes pushing the button to open the door, she loves the LED pony on the front and SUPER loves the pony puddle lights.

Man, I take a couple days off from stressing about my car and I come back to a $h1tstorm! I sign in expecting to read how @Davedough got his car and instead it is a script to a disaster movie. I read these posts in order and the emotional highs and lows had me on a rollercoaster.
Dave, I’m so sorry and yet so impressed with your attitude and perspective. We are the sum total of our experiences and yours have given you the strength to endure some pretty tough situations - though this one pales in comparison.

I’m crossing my fingers that Ford makes it right for you!

And this is why you're our hero, Dave.

I've been mostly away from the forum for a few days. Now I catch up and see the ups and downs of your car's arrival. Sometimes it feels like you've been waiting YEARS for this but then I look closely and notice that I waited even longer for my Mach-E (15.5 months). So it's all good.

I totally relate to your comment from about 19 pages ago (which I just read) where you point out that you're tired of friends and family asking if you've got your new wheels. I regretted telling anyone that I'd special ordered a car.

Congrats! Looks sweet! Batter up!
