First in the Mid-Atlantic?

[Rafgar]

I'll be posting a "review"/delivery thread probably tomorrow once I have more time to go over everything. Spent the evening detailing the inside - bit too cold for a good outside wash so I took her through a touchless car wash for now.

She's all tucked in for the snow tonight - will be spending lots of time playing around inside the garage tonight/tomorrow!

The car looks great and I like the plate.

I’m in love! Salesperson is going to try to get it through PDI today, but I may not be able to take it home till Monday....

Looks fantastic! So glad you got to bring it home this weekend!

I'm jealous but hopefully won't have too much longer to wait for mine.

IT'S HERE!

Just got the call from the dealer. Lots to do to get ready for pickup.
One bit of bad news: the front license plate bracket was installed at the factory.

Congratulations!! Out of curiosity, was the front license plate bracket listed on your window sticker? Has anyone that received their vehicles already not had the bracket installed?? My dealer states it was not ordered and it is not listed on my window sticker but I am thinking I may have to come to terms that it will be there when I pick up mine in a couple of weeks.

If it isn't on your Window Sticker then it should be included or installed.

Congrats!!!!

Looks like I have to just accept that I’ll have a front bracket. Thankfully after seeing some on here it’s not super intrusive. I think I can live with it but I’ll still be a curmudgeon because I have to

Great news and thank you for all those posts; you kept us all well informed from the start. Can't wait till you post your initial driving impressions, but for now, just get out there and enjoy the drive.

Probably so. Wouldn’t be quite so bad if I hadn’t already bought the Craig’s bracket

@ChasingCoral WHEREEEEE are the pictures?!?!?

Ended up being such a nice day I was finally able to give mine a good wash!

She’ll be garaged for a while now though.

I was able to squeeze in a quick photo session and test drive today and had to rush home for a meeting. We'll pick up the car tomorrow afternoon.

They hadn't finished cleanup, etc. but I talked them into letting me get a few shots in the sunshine since we'll have gray skies coming for the next several days and to take it for a quick quick spin before coming back to my meeting. Picture 1 is my new shot with Marlin in the sun.

Quick quick spin? Didn't have long and made the best of it. That thing is fast.
The picture was my very unofficial, self-timed 0-60. I'll believe Ford's stats!

I held 50 mph around a pair of 35 mph ramps and was pushing my limits more than the car's.
60-90 was effortless. I broke 80 repeatedly without trying as I hopped passed commuters heading north. Really glad I had slowed down for that section coming back when the cop was sitting at the side of the road!

Seat could use more bolster when hitting curves hard but they'll be fine for 99% of driving. They are really comfy, though! They definitely need more appropriate seats for the GT.

I understand the comments folks made about motion sickness. I went straight to testing Marlin in Unbridled One-Pedal-Drive and hitting it hard. After a fast set of twisties I think my stomach was left in a mailbox I went past. It came back quickly, though.

Stereo is great and I was pumped when I hit a section I had planned to drive hard just as Kanye's Power came on.

We're supposed to get some snow starting tomorrow night. Hopefully I can find a snowy, unplowed lot Thursday.
