Just watching the old discovery channel documentary on OUR gt's in the barn. Imagine if the the Gt was to begin its initial sales today? instead of 2005, man FORD had its timing and luck on there side.:thumbsup
I would caution to say that the Gt's today would have a very hard time like all other sports cars even selling 25 percent of the lot!
The good news i think is as 5 to 10 years pass , the lucky ones who can stick it out will see huge rewards like 5 to 600 thouand in the future.
Its coming but time is the issue.....time...time....time, hey DBK , it was my son nicholas's 20th ! birthday on saturday, makes you look at life a little different once you cant say your son isnt a teenager anymore....time....time....time...

Can you imagine what our kids are going to get for our cars when we pass in 20 years !!
I better go for a drive and put some more miles on her !
The Only investment a Gt is to me ,is enjoyment!!
My kids are already dividing up my cars .But I have fooled them all.I changed my will to be buried in my Gt!!

Joey,

my good friend.

You really need to come out to a track day.

The reward is the enjoyment.

Happy birthday to your son.

Joey, timing is every thing! Think of it, gas stations replaced with re-charging station for your electric car that goes hummmmmmmmmmmm. Gas at $50.00 a gal if you can find it. So maybe your right with these gas guzzlers being worth $500.00 to $600.00.

So if it is Nicholas's 20th ! birthday this means you're turning 37 my friend????? lol

Wish Nick a happy one from me!
