Interesting Rule #1 for us, wife ordered a new 2020 GT500 in August of 2019 after they were announced. Through some friends she was able to secure the third allocation for a local dealer.

She loves the movie Gone in 60 Seconds and decided to order it in an "Eleanor" paint scheme. It took 14 months to build as Ford couldn't figure out the painted stripe option and decided to process all of the solid color and vinyl stripe orders first. It was delivered on Friday (10/16/20) and we went to pick it up. I asked them to do an inspection and that was it, NO PDI. We picked it up, brought it home and did it ourselves, including installing the splitter and handling package bits.

This week it will get tint, a good detail and then some miles!

Dayum. Was expecting an Explorer or a Telluride. Nice whip!

Drool. Well done!

I spy the race ramps too. Those have been one of the best automotive purchases I've ever made.

They are wonderful. Originally bought for loading my GTR's on trailers and have been used for so many things since then!

What is PDI, and why is it important that it wasn't done?

Pre-delivery Inspection. This is where they de-sticker the car and install any loose dealer installed items once the car is delivered. Honestly at the time we didn't know if we were even going to keep the vehicle or just re-sell it and move along. We decided on keeping it and it was a fun experience getting to make sure the car was perfect.

Oh, like drilling holes in the bumper for a front license plate?

I wouldn't want that done either.

Sure that, but actually for this car there are three other items that are dealer installed. We put two of them on.

#1 - Front splitter assembly and splitter wickers.
#2 - Spoiler Extension (4 bolts super easy)
#3 - Oil Separator kit for the supercharger (basically a fancy factory catch can system)

Before and after pics of splitter install and spoiler extension

Which version of the race ramps are those? The performance pack lvl 2 splitter is about 6-in above the ground, I probably need ramps with less than 9 degrees of initial slope to avoid scrapping.

Is your wife available to hang out? She seems like a good fit for my crew. You can stay at home and knit stuff though.

Is that funky spoiler what they refer to as a "Gurney flap"?

There's a wife and bolt ons joke to be made here. That is all.
“There is no red.
There is no blue.
There is the state.
And there is you.”

In 1974. At the Parkland Theater. $00.75 admission.
