Delivered as a three option, now a four option with wheels this week! I'm less than two months in to ownership and still haven't been able to "ground myself" with the excitement of owning this car! Purchased with around 1,100 miles, I have driven it more in the past month than the last owner did over the course of the last 10 years. I'm up to about 1300 miles and counting. Use it, right?

I attended multiple events over the past few weeks including the Chip Foose painting of Ricart Fords GT last weekend, additionally another nice event we put together with four of my friends GT's the next day in Columbus as pictured. Needless to say, we are using them and hopefully having FUN! :)

Thanks for the Forum and I look forward to learning as much as I can from you guys and gals who have had them longer than me!

My best, Jeremy

Welcome to the forum, Jeremy! Congrats on the purchase of your GT. Glad to see that you are using the car as intended. They are fun to look at in the garage, but way more fun on the road. :thumbsup

You're gonna have a hard time getting I and out of the car. Need to park the GT on the left. Welcome.

Glad to have you join us Jeremy! One piece of advice: Cold tires = Trouble!
Like many other GT owners on here have experienced... a rear engine and torquey 2nd gear can make the GT swing like a pendulum! Take your time learning the characteristics of the car and respect it. It is an awesome ride that will forever give you butterflies when you climb in!!
