A man who truly loves his GT500...
From another forum.........
Got the call from the dealer yesterday morning. There was a transport in his lot with a driver that had been there since 4am. He said he wasn't leaving THIS one on the doorstep and stayed with the car til they opened! Great dealership, great people: Quality Ford in Princeton KY. Allyn Moore and Todd Bradford (Allyn is the owner, Todd the Sales Mgr). They have been just awesome through the entire process. So, they have no Saturday service and it could get a PDI. I bribed the service manager to come in and do it (with a wad of dough and he took his wife out for a great dinner last night). Here's the sequence: 11:00am Call from dealer 11:00:30am I wipe up after myself 11:02am I break into uncontrollable tears when I hear it can get PDI'd 11:02:01am I start coming up with an answer to this problem 11:05am Return call from dealer saying the bribe worked...come get it 11:06am Pack some crap in a bag and head to O'Hare 1:50pm Wheels up via American Airlines 3:00pm Land at Nashville 3:10pm Already in rental car, and have left airport (Thanks Hertz #1 Gold!!!) 4:51pm Arrive dealer in Princeton, KY (Try Mapquest and YOU do the math. I beat the BeJesus out of a Hyundai at an incredible rate of speed that I'll never get to duplicate in the Shelby 'cause it's Arrest-Me Red. 4:53pm Pick lower jaw off floor after seeing it. Hear muted laughter and talking from bystanders 5:21pm Deal done, BEL RX 65 Pro and Magellan 800 in window, "let's hit it". 5:22pm Cross street to AutoZone for a little wax for the front to help remove bugs later. 5:23pm AutoZone employee carrying battery to lady's car stops in his tracks, puts down battery and goes back into store. 5 seconds later every person in the store has surrounded my car. I buy wax, head to shady spot, apply coat and boogie. 6:30pm (see photo) Got to see my grandkids in southern IL on the way through!!!! 10:00pm Stop in Effingham Illinois to see new friends at another dealership. About 10 people there to see it. They chipped bugs off front air dam and windshield so the could take pix. 10:45pm Back on I-57 north 3:15am The Eagle Had Landed. My wife and daughter absolutely freaked when they saw it. 9:30am Washed, re-waxed front. Let's ride!!!!!! That would be me if I knew one was waiting with my name on it.  |

Oh yes it is!  A Shelby is all that and more.  You're too young to understand.

Glad he's driving it, instead of having it shipped home and placed into a bubble to sit for years.

When I read that it was going to be his daily, I thought he's probably a rare owner. |

 Don't think I'd get that excited about THAT car, but maybe a Ferrari

Although I would not pay that much for the car, I felt the same way about my GT. Nice to see someone get that excited about their car...
