So, after breakfast with Lou we parted ways and I headed down the street to the Ford dealership. I met Tom, the sales manager who I had been dealing with for the week prior over the phone and e-mail, and he showed me my Mustang sitting there in the showroom.

I had never actually seen this color in person before... only in photographs. This is a truly amazing color in person. It's a lot like the 40th Z gray only with more flake. It's awesome.
We took the car for a quick spin just so I could make sure I was 100% sure I wanted to go through with the deal... I was!
Transferred the Z's plates (and the NISMO plate frame!!!) over to the Mustang.
Goodbye Z
I do have to say that I was relieved to let it go. I have always hate, hate, hated red but for some reason when I first saw a red Z I fell in love with it. It just looked "right." If I had to do it all over again I think I would have bought Platinum Graphite. Red is just a pain in the *** to keep up with and with Nissan's soft clear and crappy paint it's really no fun.
Anyways, one of the young guys at the dealership (I'm guessing late teens, early 20s) tried to teach me how to use Sync. It was information overload so I told him just let me know how to use the radio and change the clock and I'll read the manual to figure everything else out (I haven't yet)
With the paperwork completed I waved goodbye to my Z (I'll miss her!) and drove off in the new Mustang at approximately 12:30PM local time. 900 miles to go!
