Hi all;
This is the first chance I've had to post since getting our new toy. Monday morning my salesman called to say that our Bird had landed and was being preped and would be ready by 2:00 that afternoon. I was working out of town so I couldn't wait until I got off work to go get what I've been waiting for for well over 2 years now. When I got to the dealer I called my wife ("the Boss") and asked if she could come to the dealer to pick up her new ride. (I'm still in the dog house for keeping her in the dark about when the car would come in) After all the paperwork had been handled I got to drive it home while she followed (she's a coward when it comes to being the first to drive a car, but she and the Bird have bonded nicely now). When we got it home she noticed some shadows in the paint on the door and front fender. I like to refer to them as birth marks. Other than these marks the car seems to be flawless (I say seems to be because after we picked it up I then had to drive back to my out of town job). That being said, I kind of like the name Bruiser for the car. Needless to say we will have the dealer get these "birth marks" removed. It doesn't prevent us from driving it and enjoying it now though. On the way home I took a back road that has a long straight stretch on it and with very little use of the gas pedal I had it up to 95mph and it still rode very smooth and did not even get over 2500rpm. This car is awesome and it only takes a little time behind the wheel to really fall in love with it. If you're in a bad mood, a drive in this car can snap you right out of it and make the days stresses melt away. Just driving this car is like being on vacation. Once again sorry for the delay in reporting on our new arrival. Just think how hard it was for me to go back out of town knowing I had a new Tbird at home that needed driving.
