I can imagine you being excited, but don't you also feel a bit sad? I would.

Have fun though.

yes, excited, and sad. the plant has been in operation since 1918, built the model A, and eventually up through this mustang. but its not totally sad, as a new stang is still made in Michigan and its seeming quite wonderful.

all will be described in full before too long... it should be up by tomarrow with pics and videos of the line
