Where is the inventory?????

[Mustang 3]

Thanks Iron Mike,

The harddrive to download music appears to be in the Navagation system--part of the $2400 Electronics Package. The Grey MCA I found has it..originally a no way...now a mandatory item per research I've done, 3 part You Tube video and a Doug Gompertz recommendation (I'll get years of enjoyment harassing Doug that I have it and he doesn't, that along with never allowing him to see the car-inside joke)..called Harrold Ford this am to ok the dealer transfer...and as usual the Force was against me...it was sold on Saturday by it's dealer, so no trade possible.

NOT another Grey MCA within dealer trading distance here in California (well one with a glass roof which is a deal buster-no interest in it. I've driven Vettes with glass (plexi) roofs and just did not like it, even tinted/shaded the sun beats in here in Cali when its 110 in August).

Dealership is looking for my backup color...race red. We will see what shows up. They are willing to custom order a 2012 but Ford just raised V6 prices for 2012 so even with X Plan this thing will bust $30k for a 6 banger and that I am having emotional issues over. When you are down to a $9.5 - 10k difference in pricing (street) between a V6 Mustang and a Corvette the auto world has really gotten wierd (yes nav in the V6 and no nav in the base no option Vette coupe..but still..too damn close in $$).

Well, after my argument with Randy "but I want to keep it original", we swapped out the CD player for an Alpine unit with GPS and USB connection, which I plugged in the same memory stick full of tunes I burned for '09 MAA run...

Chiming into the Sirius radio part of the discussion a little late . . . when I bought my 2008 Shelby GT, part of the deal was free Sirius radio for 6 months plus free antenna installation. That was nice . . . except that the antenna was installed on the front side of the car rather than the back, so people keep asking me what that black bump is at the top edge of the window. Nice surprise was that I got Sirius for an entire year free, rather than just 6 months. It wasn't until the 12th month that Sirius asked for money; and they never charged me for the additional 6 months over the original 6 provided by Ford. I love free stuff.

About how long should I expect to keep a new spare in the trunk before it becomes useless? Just wondering if I should replace my spare before Paul's 9/11 drive.

MIKE- SO SORRY. I THOUGHT I WAS REPLYING WITH A QUOTE AND ENDED UP WRITING OVER YOUR ORIGINAL POST VIA AN EDIT COMMAND BY MISTAKE. SORRY, NOT INTENTIONAL

Mike- side story. Going off memory but most of the details are still correct some 6 yrs later. Back flash to the mid 1960's. Walter falls in love with an orange 65/66 coupe. Back and forth (bought, returned, rebought if I recall the sequence correctly) but ends up with that orange coupe as a family car (even with 3 kids). Jump ahead almost 30 years to 1994. Walter and his bride (as soon as I post this I'll remember her name-keep thinking Irene or Eileen) and their original orange coupe head east with Mustangs Across America on the original 1994 30th anniversary run. They had a blast.

Now jump 10 yrs later to 2004. Walter and his wife are now pushing towards 80 (maybe slightly over). But they wanna go. MAA came back to life 10 yrs after the 30th anniversary to run to the 40th. Walter, his bride and that orange coupe made the run. At times I'd run through the group, tail to nose, to check on folks and everytime I passed Walter he had a huge smile on his face. In Mustang Ok we had a great time-wonderful dinner put on by the local club. Heading back to the hotel that night Walter made a wrong turn and ended up driving over a curb...pop pop go two tires with damaged rims. The group moved on towards Nashville the next morning. Walter, his bride and that orange coupe were not far behind. Two classic Mustang owners stepped up-pulled out their own spares and put Walter back on the road to Nashville.

Age did catch up with them and Walter and his wife couldn't make the 45th run in 2009...but they and the MAA spirit are always with us.

Mike-on the 50th run ask me about the guy who in 1994 who rebuilt the 302 in his Mustang II Kiing Cobra in a motel parking lot with the support of other MAA members.

I have the Discovery Channel MAA '04 on my DVR. It was Walter and Lorraine, and they were 81 and 80 for MAA '04. He bought a '65 in 1968, returned it, then went back to get it and it was gone. Then he found another '65 soon afterwards.
The amazing thing is they took their four children in that Mustang on family vacations. It reminds me of when my cousins came out to visit us in southern California back in the 60's, and we packed 4 adults and 7 kids in a sedan for a trip to Tijuana, Mexico (with my little brother stretched out across the rear window deck).

removed - venting over

[gofastguy]

David,
I'm sure it hurts to lose a deal on a Boss, but hopefully, you are a bit calmer today. I hope it was just a figure of speech wishing death on the family who got "your" Boss. Once you've bought a few cars, you realize what you are dealing with when doing business with dealers and that a good, honest one is to be truly appreciated. I, myself, have just recently found a Ford dealer who treats me so well, that I am likely to buy from again in the near future.

If it's any consolation, your Boss can surely be bought from another dealer in a fairly short amount of time near invoice with rebates. Juist ask the guys who paid over 50K for their Shelby GT's!

The two dealers in Tacoma are getting two regular Boss's and one LS Boss and as of today no buyers. Their Shelbys have been sitting there for the last six months.????????

Just venting guys....no harm to anyone (its only a car). In fact to aviod any harm to MAA the post is gone (I pulled it).

Dealers are just not my favorite form of human being currently. hahahahaha

Actually heading out the door right now to look at a Race Red MCA Mustang- at a different dealer.

That's what burns me so...........at least 6 vehicles thru this dealer previously............99 Limited Edition, Mach 1, Bullitt...plus a slew of trucks and other vehicles over the years........... but it's not what you did for me yesterday but who is doing what for me today.
