Taking Delivery of My 2018 Ford GT

It almost doesn't feel real. It's been such a long wait that I don't even know what to say right now. It's delivery day. It's like delivery hour for the Ford GT after all these years. Over three years since they unveiled it. It's been almost two years, maybe more than two years since I applied. Almost two years since I was given an allocation. And well, here we are. I'm going to get to see my car fully assembled for the first time. And this is wild. Unfortunately, I don't get to drive the car today because I'm leaving it here to get wrapped to protect the paint. I feel like protecting the paint job is a good call. So I'm going to resist for a few more days and then I'll drive and we'll do a video on that. Lots of videos to come. Let's get on with it. Okay, so I'm getting on the thing. We're going to raise up. It's going to be a big deal. You've waited for this about as long as I have. All right, up we go. I'm going to try to apply for a Ford GT. Ford is supposedly going to start accepting applications for the new Ford GT this month. Maybe you've been around for a little while. You've heard me mention a car called the Ford GT. There's no way I'm going to get it, but I still wanted to try. The first word is congratulations, and it might be delivered in the next six months or so, which still seems far away. But over the whole steam of things, it's been almost three years now since the car was unveiled. Six months is not that much longer to wait. Oh, the color looks so good. What do you guys think of the color? I like it. It's my favorite color. ------- good, dude. Thank you. It's a really pretty green. Good job. What do you think? I love it. I am so happy with how it turned out. Such a good color choice. It's the Miami blue paint. We got the gloss carbon fiber wheels with the black lug nuts. Gloss carbon fiber all over on the trim on the outside. Charge energy, standard interior. And of course, we have the black racing stripes, which the only other sort of similar color GT I've seen, it was in a Riviera blue and it didn't have stripes. And I really, really like having the stripes on there. It sort of breaks up due to the brightness of the blue. We're going to take it in, and then I'm going to get like a walkthrough and learn how to actually use the thing. I, better than I could have envisioned it. So good. Street. Oh, in the museum. Of course. Are you donating it already? Yep. Still looks nice under the lights in here. All right. Today we'll be reviewing the Ford standard edition. She's got these beautiful wing dippers here. The wind goes in and creates a cluster of electricity. Shooting light back out at Adam's speed. We've got sourdough wheels right here. These doors wing up. We actually broke them. They're supposed to do normal. Lights actually are taken from the model of the Tron vehicles in the movie Tron. They're beautiful lights. They light up. No airbags because if you're crashing in this thing, you might as well be dead. Am I right? I thought it was funny. So you're going to have a hard time putting groceries away. If the wing is deployed. Totally. Yeah. There's enough room for like a credit card and then maybe two toothbrushes. So beautiful entry for lots of luggage, a pair of underwear for the next day, maybe a t-shirt, maybe even some pants. You might be able to fit those in. Or you can just make sure you do everything alone and then fill up the passenger seat. And those are your options really. All right. So inside here, we've got the battery charger, locking wheel lock key, your front license plate bracket. Yep. A nice little tool kit in here. So you want to keep that inside and it occupies half the space. Absolutely. All right. So here's your little fancy Ford special funnel for the capitalist in case you ever run it out of fuel. Left-hand thread. Owner's manual. Multi-purpose tool. Tire re-inflation kit right here. The only time I would ever suggest using this is if you're in the Death Valley and you have to get home. Otherwise, stop, call concierge, call Ladies. Okay. Somebody will save you. Oh, so don't even call your insurance. Call you guys first. Yes. We're the only ones that are going to have the ability to transport it. Yeah. That's why. So underneath here, we've got the washer fluid. You've got the hydraulic tank that runs the whole car. Power distribution. Brake fluid. Front anti-roll bar. How it's staying right. And then main valve block. You guys are really jammed in there. Yeah. Getting in for the first time. Okay. Congratulations, Jordan. Thank you. Congratulations. All right. Yeah. I'm never, ever going to let a valet touch this ever. No. It's pretty stiff. That gives you that. I'm as far forward as it gets. Your Uber is here. That'd be a fun video. There you go. That's actually not the worst idea. What tier of Uber? They'd have to make a new tier. Yeah. Uber super. That's it, man. You ready? I think I'm ready. There you go. GT. And now you have to take it because you're wrapping the car. All right. The exciting handoff. That's it. There we go. Well, that's pretty much it. I've gotten the tutorial. I'm sure I'm going to forget a lot of things there. There are some complex things I need to remember if the battery ever dies on me. So I'm just going to hope that the battery never dies on me. Otherwise, I have to go and put the key in and unlock the back and then go in the back and pull the door open, go in the door, pull a latch to unlock the front, then jump it in the front. And then I guess I'll be able to put it in neutral normally from there. But if it's ever just not going at all, I have to turn a crank to put it into neutral, hold it there as the car is being pushed by other people or winched onto the tow truck. And so I just don't want that to happen. Anyway, can I just say again, because I haven't said it enough, how happy I am with the color. And look, I know there are going to be some people who are like, oh, you should have gone with the liquid red. I am. I have no regrets whatsoever. This was 100% the right choice. I will say it probably sounds like something anyone would say when talking about a car. It doesn't show its true colors on camera. Don't you think, Nick? No, no. In person, it looks just far better. It really does. But, you know, I don't think it looks too bad on camera. I just want to stand around and look at it for a few days. Now, the bummer is I'm leaving it here. I'm not driving it. I'm getting it wrapped. So in about three days or so, it should be good to drive. This weekend should be the first time actually going for it. All right. I will admit I couldn't resist. I took it for a spin around the block. I didn't do anything too crazy because, again, the break-in period and all that. It was fun, though. I'm really impressed, actually, with how, you know, nice and smooth it is at low speeds, which is not what you want to hear about. But for, you know, everyday use, it's great. Dude, the seats are so comfortable. It's amazing, actually. It's like way more comfortable than the Mercedes. And that's just like a daily driver kind of car. So like super impressed with that. V6, no issues with the noise there whatsoever. Sounds exciting. You hear like the turbo whistles and stuff. And it's just incredible. And I haven't even given it the beans yet. So, man, so stoked. Look at that. Serial number 43 for the 2018 year. That's what the J stands for right there. Yeah, the infotainment, all that. Right now it's in race mode. That's why it's all low and the wings are deployed outside. Look at the rear view mirror. It's like just this teeny little piece of glass. No electronics, no nothing like that. It does have the flip up for like dimming and all that. You can kind of get a look. There's some visibility back there. I'm not sure if the mic lets it get high enough. I love the Alcantara, though. I think the interior was definitely the right choice, even though it doesn't have the exposed carbon fiber sills over here. I like it. Like I'd be worried about scratching it by sitting down on pants that have like a ribbon on them or something like that. This way, you don't have to worry about that. And it's just it's way more racy with the Alcantara all over the place than it is with the leather. So super stoked with the interior choice. And it's $30,000 cheaper. So, you know, why not? Yeah, so that's it for the interior tour. So fun. So I can't wait to actually drive it. It's going to be amazing. Still taking it a little easy. I was told don't bring it over about 5000 RPM during the break in period and just don't thrash it. And then after 600 miles, we'll take it in for an oil change. And then I can really gun it. But we'll do like a first drive first impressions when I actually do go out for a drive. And we'll leave it off there. A truly incredible, surreal experience. Thank you, Ford, for the opportunity. And thank you, guys, because obviously without the whole YouTube thing, I don't think they would have been as interested in giving me an allocation. So thank you for watching. Thanks again, Ford. Pretty incredible. And we'll sign off there for this video. Catch you later.
