What did you guys do while waiting for your car to come in?

I've cleaned my garage etc. Now I'm actually finding out that I don't want to spend as much time on GT500 sites due to waiting for my car for so long. Mines been built and is waiting to be shipped. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be here as it was built on the 2nd and gate released on the 9th.

So what did you do while waiting for your car to come in?

Besides crying and moaning on this board and others, I just started buying stuff: new garage floor, exhaust, floor mats, radar detector, Zaino, and a little bit of Featherlax. :D

I cleaned the garage and took a vacation. The dealer called the day after I returned - said the car was ready for me to pick up. I really was not expecting it since it was just after the July 4th holiday and I know Ford shuts-down for a few weeks around that time.

Okay I'll practice my skills in being a whinny woman!

Let me see, how's this go......

Oh my car has been sitting for built for almost a month and has moved no where.. Why is that! What's so hard about putting a car onto a freaking railcar and attaching that railcar to an engine and then following a railroad track west? Why me oh why me???

I know that was kind of weak but am I on the right track so to speak? :D

Nope. You'll need more practice.

I might just install the stage 1 part first and see how I like that.

Then after a few more hundred miles throw on the stage 2 and go for it.

Yea that was a good deal.

I'll be doing the SS package so hence the new SC. Pretty sure I'm gonna go with the TVS and just add to it when needed. Or after the 12 month warranty runs out. :D
