Hey everyone! I've been wandering around the forums for awhile as an unregistered researcher and finally went all-in last night, picking up my Mach-e. I am crazy excited to drive but also come out of the shadows here and contribute! Thanks to everyone for helping with my research and getting me here!

One confession, and potentially some help needed... I grew up in a Corvette household and I'm trying to break it to my dad carefully. ? I'm thinking text so I don't need to run away and over exert myself. Any ideas welcome. HAHA!

Thanks again and happy to be here!

Pictures. Like that one. No explanation. Just a picture. ;)

That's awesome!

And best way to break it to your dad is give him a ride or better yet, throw him the key fob!

Tell him you got a Mach-E, not a Mustang.

Then slowly let them ask what the pony's doing on the front.

If I call it a mustang to start out with, I get crap.

Thanks to everyone for the awesome welcome. Not surprised how great this community is! :)

The talk with dad went hilariously well (see the screen grab). I will say, he's actually excited and wants to drive it already... and make sure he flies by a neighbor's house who gives him a hard time! HAHA! I warned him, they won't hear you but he doesn't care. I think he's looking for an excuse to drive a fun car!

**His reference to a horse is about my Great Dane.

I sent a couple of pictures of my MME to my sister. She showed them to my dad (They all live in the 43rd state, I live in the 50th).

S: Kamuelaflyer's new car (ok the name part is a fib but ..)
D: That looks nice. What type of car is that? What happened to his truck?
S: It's a Mustang. (editorial comment: Victory!!!).
D: A Mustang? Why'd he buy that?
S: It's electric.
D: Electric? Isn't that dangerous? All the batteries?
S: No, they're like the batteries in your phone.
D: Oh. That's nice then. No more gas. What will they think of next?

My dad is 93.

Ha-ha. Back when my Mini Poodle Howie was showing there was a Poodle in his handler’s string that everyone called “The Horse.” Not quite Great Dane size but 33” and 155 pounds is a pretty large dog still. ?
