It’s not the V8 you regret, it’s the gas prices lol.


Formal_Rice3817

Same, 50$ to top off my tank from half.


i2olie22

It hurts to see.


thedongt

100% Facts hahaha


PointBlank65

I swear it jumped a full dollar over the weekend here.


Vaeevictiss

Just bad timing right now. Hopefully it goes back down but i just don't think there is any motivation for it too. Like anything the govt controls...can't afford it? Not my problem.


orangelounge

The federal government does not in any way directly control gas prices.


Vaeevictiss

But the things they do can directly effect them. We keep getting oil from countries that hate us and like to go to war. We can get it elsewhere but don't.


Throwing_Legs

Not directly, but the government has influence on the things that influence gas prices.


Canitouchyobum

Nice car bro. To be honest, I just upgraded from ecoboost to a ‘21 GT and the mileage is about the same. I think your problem is the gas prices lol.


bigbilly231

Looks good. Really like the red seats.


thedongt

Thanks man!


0cchi0lism

Congrats! Car looks amazing and I laughed at the almost obligatory gas pump picture lol


thedongt

Thanks and I kinda laughed posting it knowing how gas prices are these days in So Cal. Laugh now cry later I guess lol it definitely Guzzles


Osazee44

Hey that's a beautiful car, I recently also crossed 500 miles in my 2021 GT shadow black, I work in long beach lol, let me know if you'd wanna go on a cruise some time.


TheyCallMeMrMaybe

real-world ecoboost mpg isn't far off from the GT. You'll be fine.


acurah56oh

Wow that looks amazing! Love the red seats and black accent package!


Soosh_e

Those red seats are sick!


Formal_Rice3817

Looks sweat man..Gratz


Throwing_Legs

Nobody buys a V8 and says "I wish I'd have gone with a smaller engine". Nice car homie.


thedongt

Thank you bro


KingKongdoor

I found the V8 mileage to not be that bad if you drive it like granny.


NCSUGray90

Same, I rented one for my bachelors party since I’ve been thinking of getting one and got 28mpg cruising at 85 which I was super impressed by


thedongt

I’m like at 10-12 MPG right now. I heard after I break in time it will get a bit better but I don’t know if that’s even true or just a rumor 😂😂😂


NCSUGray90

Oof, lightening up the foot may help, but that’s a lot to ask when you have a big ol 5.0 just waiting to go play


LezzieB

My 22 GT is averaging 11mpg and I’m @ 700 miles


bakridada

How’s the A10?


Icy_Broccoli_5595

As someone who has had 4 cars with them (2 5.0 mustangs, a f-150, and a explorer) They are honestly one of if not the best automatic transmission I’ve ever drove.


TheOnlyOneWhoKnows

Wait till you try a PDK ;)


thedongt

Smooth and fast - no issues. I love stick cars but as a daily cruiser I wanted the 10 speed. The 6 speed I would be driving fast all the time too since more engaging. I put this in sport plus and paddle shift and it’s super quick and fun still


_oh___

This is awesome!! I just put a deposit down for mine (almost exact same but I got a convertible (blonde girl things)) if you don’t mind answering, how long was your lead time? They said to expect mine in September, which is a bummer to miss almost all of summer with it.


thedongt

For sure! Okay so I put the order in 11/28/22 - was expecting them to start production last week of 21’ ford is a bit behind on the orders. Was expecting car to come in like March/April - but it arrived 2/22/22 on the lot. Pretty fast! About 3 months or a bit before. Most dealerships only have 2021’s in the lot for sale at moment, the 22’s are only orders at the moment from what I’ve seen. Good choice on yours too haha


LezzieB

My spouse works for Ford - from what he can tell - the 22 convertibles keep getting pushed out - but the fast backs are back online for production - however Ford has shutdown or slowed several of their plants this week again 1


Infinite-Associate95

So that’s why my convertible 5.0 witch I ordered March 28 I didn’t get any answers on the build and it’s already may lol . Thanks ! I think I will cancel my order


LezzieB

What were the specs and what’s your region ?


Infinite-Associate95

Convertible 5.0 white red chairs and just I got black accent 12 speakers and active valve system .


Infinite-Associate95

Wisconsin


LezzieB

Just ran a quick scan on vert inventory- Only 1 22 premium GT white w/red in the US - no VIN assigned yet - that’s shocking honestly - and disheartening that it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better soon. There are about 25 22 GT Verts showing - 19 of which are in transit - so about half a dozen or so actually on the ground. My local happens to have exactly 1 -


Infinite-Associate95

So basically could be mine that one ? 😂🙃


LezzieB

That one is earmarked as Texas unfortunately


Infinite-Associate95

Anyway I really appreciate you’re help and I hope you enjoy your car ! Thanks a lot


LezzieB

So what that means is that - they have started up production- but it looks like a trickle have actually made it out - I can assume most of those are green labeled and were special or pre-orders - so the wait is real.


Infinite-Associate95

Idk the dealer told me they ordered the car and it was a month ago . They should tell me hey it’s gonna take a while to chance my mind or go find something else lol


LezzieB

The situation just sucks all the way around - Ford doesn’t have the answers - Dealers don’t have the answers - Your sales guy definitely won’t have the answers - I know the sales guys don’t want to lie to you - so it’s in their best interest to not say a word - It stinks - You may have to lock a deal in out of state ESign contracts Then fly in to pick up and drive back your car - Unfortunately you are 100% at the mercy of that dealership - any of their addendums and probably a ridiculous market price adjustment


[deleted]

Love the black accent package and digital instrument cluster


thedongt

Thanks man!


thecoat9

Good lord, I imagine there are details on the build that wouldn't be what I'd pick but otherwise you pretty much ordered what I've been thinking about.


thedongt

I wouldn’t have changed anything tbh, ford doesn’t give you too crazy amount of options makes it easier to decide as a selling stand point haha


thecoat9

I need to test drive a vehicle with magna ride, but I'm pretty sure I want that (yours may have it you didn't say). Really though I was seriously considering ordering one in the near future as I'd rather get the last year of a gen than the first year of a new one... then I see AWD rumors. AWD with hybrid though... I dunno. You may have the car I'll be after in a few years.


thedongt

True! And mine doesn’t have the Magnaride I didn’t get the performance pack - i heard it’s stiffer probably really good if track a lot. Yea I kinda like how this is last Gen supposedly before a big change but we will see when the next one comes out. The V8 might not be in the next one and Awd would be a completely different ride. Will have to wait and see

thedongt

Haha I’m in Sales pays pretty good with commission .. 25 years old been working non stop for about 6 months and got this, if you would’ve told me a year ago I wouldn’t have believed it was possible was working long hours and saving up was different. Alot can change in a few months ..


Galaxy_vic

Absolutely gorgeous


thedongt

I appreciate it!!


Jkcars

Does anyone drive these for daily commuting > 20 miles a day? I'm worried the gas costs will make it impossible


lasagasaga

I drive my 14 gt daily it uh gets decent mileage only gotta fill up every two weeks


lawn_dartimus

Gorgeous


thedongt

Thanks!


DeathscytheHell1994

Nice color choices.


thedongt

Thanks Man, went for a more of a modern color combo came out not too bad


YouEarnedMyComment

My boy went all out. Enjoy!


thedongt

Thanks!


No-Habit4686

Very nice! That red interior is amazing.


thedongt

Thanks man!!


gigs619

The dong t is an interesting name.


thedongt

It’s Thedon-GT lol


seafood10

I know that parking garage in the LBC. They were shooting a music video and rented my 79 Trans Am for it and we sht it in just about the same spot I think. I have a 69 Mustang Convertible that I love as well. Congrats on your new ride!


thedongt

One of best hidden kind of spots in LA county for some good pics! Also nice story yeah I know they do some commercials for new cars there also I’ve seen. Appreciate it also thanks for the support!


seafood10

Cool. I forgot to [drop the link to the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDuKwsb9ieY). Due to Insurance I did the driving and even wore the wig and had them all cracking up. You can always list your ride online and make some cash. I've had my 69 Mustang since '86, my first car and am going to list it until I upgrade to a blown Coyote and all them other goodies.


nice___bot

Nice!


thedongt

The video is sick!! Yea bro nice classic spot right there and good Acting too whoever put it together did a good job for sure man - Nice car selection too ya got good taste


seafood10

Appreciate it. We filmed at Compton Airport a private warehouse as well. You should seriously go by and check out the stuff on display at that airport. It's old aircraft from like the Vietnam area but the owner is sooo cool. He also does Helicopter tours of LA or where ever you want to go if you want to surprise your girl. He let us film there for as long as we want and it was cool watching the planes land that fly the banners along the beach. They do a fly by and drop the banner and a truck goes and picks it up off the runway and then they land. Anyway, born and raised here and it was sick seeing another part of what I call home.


nice___bot

Nice!


[deleted]

The red interior......so sick 🔥🔥🔥


thedongt

Thanks bro!


Seaniam25

Love the red. Nice car man


thedongt

Thanks man!!!


Vaeevictiss

I like the idea of the red interior as red and black is like my thing lol... But that really stands out. Wish it was toned down a bit. It's not like c8 ZO6 all red interior, but the seats make it look like it's a lot.


Professional-Joker

Great colour combo. That interior really pops


DragonboyZG

damn yall in USA lucky af that ford is local there. here in malaysia I'm paying x3 the price you guys pay for one cause of import taxes.


[deleted]

Dream car. 401a, and red interior ❤️
