We have 6 or so GT owners in Ma
I’m sure there is more
Where are you in Ma?
I’m in ACTON and Falmouth
Did you just have your GT at Auto Elegance in Andover a couple weeks ago? I was there picking up my raptor and saw a blue one.

My car cover is still in the original sealed bag. I continued the first owner's practice of not covering or washing the car and using Griot's products and microfiber to wipe off dust from time to time. Car has nearly 25k miles and has never been covered or washed. Paint looks fantastic with barely any noticeable scratches that could easily be removed with light buffing. No matter how soft the inner surfce of the cover is, it will still pick up dust that can end up scratching the surface with use. Plus if I am not driving her I want to at least enjoy looking at her naked.

@roketman That's one of the most beautiful FGT photos I've seen.

Just put PPF on it, and then admire it without a cover. And go drive it with less concern about picking up nicks and scratches.

Getting delivered tomorrow direct to have XPEL installed. I like the idea of storing with nothing so I can look at it between drives

Before i start a new thread…. Does anyone here know where I can get the car serviced in MA? Seller said fluids were changed last fall but not sure the extent of the service…. Also probably should get new tires…. Where are you guys going for tires in MA or NH

I purchased an 06 535 mile GT and it is getting delivered in a few days. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a soft cover for when in the garage. Also I was wondering if any has ever used Car Capsule? I might need to store in an environment indoors when there may be more dust than I like.... Has anyone used one?
I use the car capsule seams to protect the car well some dust does get on the car but my house is new construction so there is a lot of dust around

I have the car capsule showcase that you can drive in/out of easily. Although a little pricey, I like the extra protection, and I can still admire the car through the plastic sides.

I have 3 of the car capsules show cases. We have used them over 3 years works great in dusty west Texas.
I have the previous original blow up car capsule since 1999!

With the show cases you just unzip the end and drive in or out.
The car comes out as clean as you put it away.
