Me and my FORD GT-It's Really MINE Jan 7_201201_1.jpg

Picked up the most awsome car on Sat morning and drove it home to Houston. Two days I will never forget.
Shelby is terriffic to work with and thought of every detail before I could even ask. I was in cloud 9 the whole time but he had matters under control. What a great, smooth buying experience. The car was FAR better than his discription. New in every possible way. Actually in far better condition than my GT500 I bought new.

Thanks Shelby!

I look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with this car. What an awsome machine.:thumbsup

I know what an exciting day it was for you - I had the pleasure of meeting you as you left with your beautiful new car - it really sounded great as you drove off!

Congrats!!

Was my pleasure Mr. Thorne. You and your wife were an absolute pleasure to meet. And I agree, nice choice driving it home. Not a better way to get used to your new machine like spending two days driving it home to South Texas. Enjoy. :)

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

It will definatly be SEEN around Houston. It will not be a garage queen. Looking forward to C&C on Feb 3 and other events as the spring season gets rolling. I have a lot to learn, but its been a blast so far.

I actually READ the owners manual last night. Cover to cover, while sitting in the driver seat. How crazy is that?

What?! You haven't at least set up a folding chair next to the GT yet??? ('Put mine there the 2nd day!)

Congrats & welcome to our version of "Jersey Shore"!
