I can call on MJSFRX (Marc) as a personal reference. He came by my house last weekend in his white/blue '05, and we did a fast lap around the neighborhood in mine.

Fast is an understatement! And Van is a quality Ford enthusiast!

Thanks Marc, for the endorsement, and Mr Moderator for giving me photo-posting privileges.

First pix is my original '06 at Willow Springs in about 2009.

The other two pix are of my current '06. Purchased Jan 2024. Sold my low-mile Ferrari 812 Superfast to pay for it. (Gulp!)

WORTH IT!

I need to look into getting a bumper delete kit for my GT. Your car looks great.

Did I have a digital camera or film back in 2005? Humor intended, but does make you think about it.
 
June 22, 2005. The local Ford dealer prepped ole’ blue just like every other Ford on the lot… 😂

Yet it looks enormous compared to a GT40.

Yeah, that's where mine lives - Kinda scary. Since this pic I put a tape line on the floor and have my wife guide me along it. I've done it a number of times alone ... successfully ... so far! :unsure:🤞 certainly safer with someone outside the car. This pic makes it look not so bad ... I need to get a pic with the mirrors right next to the door jamb! 😱

So, some will say I’m crazy… but I repurposed an old building for garaging my cars. It’s spacious and the rent is cheap, but I have a narrow entrance door and the inside has wooden posts everywhere. Parking my 2005 GT involves using nothing more than my mirrors to back into it in darkness while zig-zagging around 12” wooden timbers. Knock on wood, I’ve never scratched a car! Maybe knocking on wood is the wrong term to use here… 😂 IMG_1752.jpegIMG_1824.jpegIMG_1821.pngIMG_7877.jpeg

Just be sure you don't drive away with it still plugged in (y)

Very easy to drive off while plugged in. I did it once, thought I would not do it again, but did, I now tie a cloth around the mirror on the drivers door routinely when I plug in. Works for me.
 
Would be nice to have the tender's cord coming down from the ceiling ... oh but with a way to really secure the tender to the outlet!

I put the cord over the fender with a bright colored towel to remind me!
 
I leave the frunk up. Also helps keep the mice away and I never leave without disconnecting and then close the frunk

There is a magnetic connection/cord offering for Ferrari, but it specifically states it is not compatible with ctek chargers. I’m still investigating. My lead from the batteries is too short to make it to the front tow hook screen area.
 
For the 05, I use the "power port" (cigarette lighter port). Hard to drive off with it in you lap. The 17, connects to the jump ports in the frunk, and I have not yet forgotten.

Here is a thread about the magnetic connector

Magnetic battery charger

I just added one of these to the 05 today! Excellent idea! Thank you soroush. excellent! did you use the hole that was in the screen for the tow hook? my next project is the 05 gt I still have not decided where to install the connector.
