chachi99 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Well, I don't think I'll ever forget April 7, 2007 in my lifetime. Today, unreasonably cold for West Texas...snowing and with the blowing snow a clearcoat black with tungsten stripes arrived Arrow Ford in the small city of Abilene, Texas. See Pics below. Sorry some are dark...d*m camera flash decided not to work today. Anyway, I get the call this morning while i'm shopping for a CAI and boom, I'm off. I get there right after its offloaded and about to enter the bay for PDI. BTW, no one here knew or had a clue about the PCM Calibration reset or that the car has a tire inflation kit. (2 specific items on the Ford PDI checklist for GT500's). Be sure and ask 'em about it. The rig is filthy. Absolutely filthy....yet oh so beautiful. I was totally calm up until the split second I got a glimpse of it. i swear I must've screamed like a 4 yr old girl on the Demon Drop at Six Flags. Just kidding...but in that instant it all became real. It was no longer a dream, no longer a butterfly in the stomach. It IS REAL! Did the paperwork...came back down and we took her for a ride and a fill up. Cheapest 91 octane I'll ever buy. Free. took the long way back to the dealer...stalled it 4 times. doh! i'm rusty i know. Anyway, i'm going back in a couple hours to pick it up to bring her home. Best basket the easter bunny has ever left me thats for sure. thanks for reading, Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Phil, I am glad your day in the GT500 lime lite has arrived. Plan on smiling for a while. Enjoy your car. Only punch it when your going straight untill you get use to the power. It will bite you if your not careful. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
