Explorers, this idea came from Cory and I added to it...

I was thinking about your awesome stormtrooper idea and figured the other paints could correspond to something else Star Wars related:

Kodiak Brown Metallic – Chewbacca
Deep Impact Blue Metallic - Blue Milk
Ginger Ale Metallic - Tan Yucker/Tan Divo
Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat – Emperor's Royal Guard
White Platinum Metallic Tricoat/ Oxford White – Stormtrooper
Tuxedo Black Metallic – Darth Vader
Sterling Gray Metallic/ Ingot Silver Metallic – Death Star/ Millenium Falcon
Green Gem Metallic – Yoda/ Boba Fett

I definitely don’t mind if you want to contribute to the list. I’m sure the rest of the board would get a real kick out of it!

I like 'Yoda' and 'Death Star' best, too funny!

Then again, maybe a family car shouldn't have 'Death' in the name! hehe

Great updates, RonJrSVCMGR!

VinceL,

I’m also pretty partial to “Yoda”.

I shot you a quick reply, RonJrSVCMGR.

[RonJrSVCMGR]

Thank you. I am ok with the delay, whereas I do not want to take delivery until July 3rd to see if there are incentive changes. I probably won't be able to wait, though...

Congrats!! You should be able to see that window sticker I would think. I'm hoping I have the same type of response this next week.

From what I have seen on here, the Ultrasound of the head in the right position (window sticker) will arrive tomorrow morning.....

This is what I get this afternoon



The VIN entered was not found in our system. VIN requested is *********DGA69728.

From Ford's Glossary in Vehicle Visibility:

In Production: Primary Status: The vehicle is in production.

Sent to Plant: The order has been submitted to an assembly plant.

You’re in the 4-6 day window, RonJrSVCMGR. Don’t wear out that F5 key!

Sioux Falls,

You’re only one day away from being in the window.

In case you don’t have the window sticker URL memorized, here it is:

UPDATE: Ultrasound shows head in correct position (Window Sticker on 6/5/2012 )

**Note: Vin still does not show up in Sync My Ride website. Site needs to verify vehicle has Sync in it. I will update the day it actually shows up in Sync My Ride.***

That’s awesome, RonJrSVCMGR! I would take your VIN out because it could be considered private info.
