Hopefully it will be some time around then.Did you take advantage of the Falcon Freedom Pack? IsherI just spent the worst night of my life (maybe a small exageration!)How can you sleep, knowing that you have to wait for a beast like the XR6T? My eyes are stinging, and I'm tired and grumpy!! I want my car ... NOW! Dealer says June, maybe?... anyway, I asked about the Freedom pack and it worked out that I would only get about $1200 worth of value out of it, so we re-negotiated the deal and he ended up giving me about $1600 worth of free bits and pieces, e.g., sump guard, tint/leather/paint/rust protection, etc.I have the Ford XR6T wallpaper on my computer, so I will be constantly reminded that my new baby is on the way.Hope I get some sleep tonight :(

April 25, 200323 yr #10 Author I can't stand this ... it's only been 12 days since I placed the order, and I can't think of anything other than my new baby (T) ...I'm off my food, can't sleep, constantly grumpy and drinking to excess ... none of this behaviour has to do with the car, just thought I'd mention it.Damn you Ford for delivering such an awesome car and not being about to build them instantly!!!... gunna need more booze ...
