Newbie from Louisiana

[Wickserv1701]

Good evening!! I am a newbie from Louisiana who finally registered tonight. I have been lurking for a few weeks learning a whole lot from everybody. I have caught on to a couple of things, don't order the Ruby Red (I Didn't), you won't get 47mpg, (didn't think I would but anythings better than what I get now), and definetly don't be in a hurry. I ordered mine on January 23rd and it was finally built yesterday. Now let's see how long it takes the train to get from Mexico to Louisiana. :-)

I hope you see your car soon! You may be able to get 47 there in LA based on your normal routes and driving style. Coach lives about 70 miles from you and got 53 on his first tank... of course he has his players pushing the car for PT but he's not admitting to that at this time.

Pushing? I was more envisioning the car up on poles and they carried him around in it like the Emperor! :) :hysterical:

I actually found a clip of Coach in action, car must be out getting washed and waxed by the other players.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I am curious to see that you currently drive LS430. I was wondering what made you go with FFH and not something else, like Lexus ES Hybrid, Tesla S, etc. Brand-wise, some would argue that going from Lexus to Ford would be a big downgrade. I honestly think that FFH drives and feel way more expensive than its "humble" brand name.

Welcome.

I got a FFH Titanium in Bourdeaux Reserve and according to the dealership my ETA is 04/10! I can't wait!

 

I wanted to get away from the Lexus because of the cost of maintenance and wanted something with better gas mileage. The FFH has all the same features that I care about. :-)

 

Thanks so much for warm welcome!!
