Must be something to the chip shortage. Snapped foot tendon became problematic enough that I've been looking into selling my manual 5 speed Mustang, getting a new 5.0 GT with performance pak and the new 10 speed dual clutch automatic. HA! Internet searches reveal Ford dealers near me having only a few base 4 banger "ecoboost" 'Stangs.
One exception was the Salem Ford dealer having a 10 speed auto Mach one...asking "only" a $10K additional dealer markup. Well, that's biz...he has every right to ask it. I also have the right to say no.
All this to say..yep..the new car shortage seems real. Especially with the more desireable models. So, I'm waiting & watching. No real hurry. I mean, how much car do I need to drive to my favorite pool hall?
