    Looking For A Trailer

    We actually bought a used Sundowner aluminum frame trailer from a buddy; Dale at Rail Ryder installed the system. Overall cost was a hair over 30k for the rig. Loading is crazy easy and car is tied down on drive on carriages outside of trailer, pulled in via winch and done. If I'm gonna screw...

    Looking For A Trailer

    Seriously look at a rail Ryder trailer. Love ours. Chance of damage to the car is about as low as it gets

    Car Capsule

    Will drive and probably track it (if my other cars are an indicator). It is an open working garage. Leaves, dust, wind, occasional spider, pets. Consider it an inflatable car cover. I can look at the car every single time I walk out with the plus it will be as pristine as the last time I put...

    Car Capsule

    Hi folks, GT showed up. What a day, pretty much caused some adrenaline. Final answer on the capsule. New GT fits fine in 16 foot capsule. An 18 would be better but perfect in 16 foot. Self supporting, constant airflow, no bugs, vermin, leaves or dirt. Fits my bill perfectly.

    Car Capsule

    Great. I appreciate the input. Not so sure about the "Car Condom"... 93EXTXDPS, what size capsule do you keep your 2020 in? A 16 or 18 foot. I am inclined to use the 16 and know it will be tight but fits.

    Car Capsule

    Thanks for the input. I'm almost sure I'll go with the car capsule showcase; I like the idea of the filtered flow through ventilation and can leave the windows down on the car.

    Car Capsule

    I've been getting ready for delivery of #41 for the last few weeks and delivery is getting close. I am very seriously considering a car capsule showcase (CF1) to store it in. I am concerned with keeping the car like new while parking our GT in our main garage. Our backyard has a copious...

    New GT Special edition?? Maybe!

    That's killer. If someone would have thought to invest 12k in the gto and a 427sc, retirement would have been set.

    New GT Special edition?? Maybe!

    Great story. How fun is that?! I learned a long time ago that my “burning rubber” stories might pale in comparison to the guy you just met sitting across the table from you; I learned it the hard way one day at a picnic telling about the old street racing days. This fellow said he didn’t much...

    New GT Special edition?? Maybe!

    Stories? So, about 30 years ago, we started a car club, The Shelby Cobra Association of Texas. Artist and best friend of Shelby's, Bill Neale, was a member (and we didn't know those two connections for about 3 months). Shortly after we decided to start the club in earnest, Bill helped set up...

    New GT Special edition?? Maybe!

    I got the letter. Wow. Amazing how that stuff just shows up in email. Ordering sometime September through November. They had teased the side of the new Heritage in an email a few weeks ago. Now, if it would just have bronze wheels, 690 HP and some hidden MKII tweaks; wouldn't that be fun.

    Jwz, also, what is the width between your feather lite wheel wells? Jimglo is 83 inches.

    ...looks like I need a trailer

    Many thanks for all the input. I’m still on the fence and need to call the dealer and speak with the GT manager. He at this point has likely loaded with the rr many times now (we are in Dfw). I’ll report back. Many things to work out yet; color not the least of which. One other question is...

    ...looks like I need a trailer

    Hello All. New to the forum but have been lurking. A few months ago a buddy of mine, Honest Jack, and I were playing hooky from work. Fishing actually. In the afternoon, he looked at his phone and I thought he was going to kiss me. He got the email... I wondered when my rejection email...
