Absolutely! Anytime I mention the car I'm given a huge 'eye roll' from my wife. ?
My wife keeps asking when it will get here. What she may not realize is that after I have it, I will only be changing what I talk about!

Wife: "Its Saturday lets do something?"

Me: "During Pandemic?"

Wife: "Hmm you're stalling....you're on the Mach-E Forums again aren't you?"

Me: "Um no...." (sheepish grin)

Wife: "Yes you are! How many times I've told you the car won't be here any faster reading those forums?"

Me: "But but but...if I don't check every 10 minutes I'll be 3000 posts behind!"

Wife: "Arrggg you're sleeping in the barn with your crazy cousins tonight!"

(For the record I also check our RV's forums almost as much and we've had that thing a while now LOL.)

So she doesn't know that the only change will be to incessantly talk about how great it is?

Tonight I read an article on insideevs about how Ford descoped the range on the Route 1 (which I have on order), and mentioned it to the wife and daughter.

The vacant glassy eyed stare I got back leads me to believe I might need to talk less about the car.
This is hilarious. My wife is so tired of Mach E talk. ?

Have you been eavesdropping on our conversations?

I got around the look since the MME is "her car." I get the annoyed "it's still delayed?"

I imagine the conversation will change to "I don't want to drive the van." "I thought the mustang was my car." after we take delivery.

That's when I pop the GT question.

The other day I got frustrated about the lack of info when I reached the two week point since build and no ship. I tweeted out my frustration and tagged all the Ford folks. Told my wife.
She said if they don’t tell you soon I am calling them so you shut up.
Next day car ships.
Coincidence?
