Ahh, I turned 40 yesterday.

[SSRob]

63 degrees in the Tulsa area yesterday. I pulled the GT out of the garage and took the wife for a drive for a couple hours. I just love driving my car. The steering is just so incredibly sharp. I was quite surprised at the grip the tires had on the somewhat cool pavement...and they are 6 years old. I know I know, I'm going to replace them. Lots and lots of compliments and thumbs up. It cracks me up to see the look on some young boys face when I pass them. It's just a look of complete OH MY GOD AM I REALLY SEEING THIS!?!??!

I did have one tool pull up at the gas station and ask if it was a Pantera...LOL

On the way home I cranked her up to about 158MPH on a nice empty stretch of highway. She sank down and purred down the road. Backed out because images of the old tires shredding apart at high speed entered my mind.

I just love love love my GT.

Happy belated!

I'll trade 'ages' with you...

 

[Black GT]

Happy birthday. I am right behind you man.

 

[SSRob]

Thanks guys. 40 isn't so bad. I'm a kid at heart.

Impressive car list, Black GT. I've always wondered...what does everyone around here do for a living?

 

[DakotaGT]

Happy birthday. I am right behind you man.

Yeah, me too. In fact Black GT, I see that you and I have the exact same birthday! I wish I could stay 38 forever. Kids are growing way too fast; life is sure flying by.

Happy birthday, Rob. I listed my occupation in my profile. But since you asked, what do you do?

 

[Ed Sims]

Happy Birthday SSRob! I'm not sure what our members do other than have fun with their GTs (I really am not that curious what others do) but I do know that Roketman's profession is raffle winner! It's how he got his GT!

Thank you, SFSDFGT!

I own a e-Commerce site and several retail stores. I've mostly worked computer/telecomm jobs in the past but things change and here I am.

 

[SSRob]

Well it's obvious to me that most of the people here are successful business people. I'm sure there might be a few trust fund babies though, LOL.

 

[SSRob]

I just replied to several of those emails that said they want to send me $253 million dollars from Kenya. I'm hoping it pans out! 458 Italia here I come!

There are also a few of us retired and active FoMoCo folks who were either involved or inspired by the results of the efforts of the FGT team.

Sorry to tell you. This part gets worse.....

My whole year now feels as long as summer break was as a kid. :frown

When I turned 40 I bought an STS with the unheard of 300 HP Northstar engine. I thought I was Donald trump. Count your blessings.

 

[SSRob]

Yes, all of them. He promised he would send the money today.

[SSRob]

Most definitely.

So again, what does everyone do? I'm not looking for specifics...just like CEO of a company, MD, financial investor, lottery winner, professional mooch, ?
