Thank you. I'm enjoying. nice to get a reply from fellow Texan. We live in the best state to let the horses run free. It's awesome finally getting the car I always wanted. I had the local Ford house do 111 point check. I'm getting my GAP refund soon. I think I will do a cruise and drive to San Antonio, then go from there. Got to let the coyote howl and run with horse. Nothing is better.
Dark blue with white stripes is awesomeHi Everyone,
Mark from Reddick, Florida here. I have been lurking on this site, gaining a ton of knowledge about the S550 platform and these fine automobiles for awhile now. This is my 4th Mustang. I had a 1966 Coupe (289), 1986 GT, 1966 A-Code Fastback and now a 2023 Shelby American GT. I am a real fan of the original 60's series Shelby cars and always wanted one. My pockets aren't deep enough for a 1966 GT350, so I decided to get the Shelby GT with the painted stripes option. Even though this is their entry level build, it is not just badges and trim that has been done to the car. I opted to wait on supercharging it until I am further along in the warranty cycle. I hope you like it. Thanks!
Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate it!!
Congratulations - and post a pictureWell, might aswell toss up my introduction on this forum. Some folks might have spotted me in the past on other Mustang forums (on which I'm still active and a member) tho I've never been one for much posting. Plugged the on-and-off question here and there, and where I found I could contribute I certainly did so.
Bought my first Mustang in 2006 (a 2002 manual GT in silver) and managed to enjoy daily driving with her.
Alas, as things go, age started to creep up on the car, repairs started to get more frequent, and when I got a note from the dealer where the car was being serviced for the 2nd time in about 2 to 3 months that I was advised NOT to drive the car as they were waiting for parts to repair something, that kinda sealed the deal for me to start looking for something else. The car was still fine, but it kind of hit the end of it's daily driving career, and would be more in place for non-daily driving. Which meant it couldn't be my car anymore (no room to store one, nor any means to put her inside, nor willing to pay the insurance and taxes involved).
So about a 3 weeks ago, I traded in that one (after 17 years of faithful service - yes, that got me a bit sentimental and emotional), and picked up a 2019 black manual EB.
Not my first EB to drive, as I've had a couple of rentals when visiting the USA. That said, I'm really enjoying the drives I made so far with the new addition, and while it still seems somewhat surreal to know and see the car parked outside knowing it's mine, I don't intend to stop enjoying driving around
So, if that's sufficient for all of you to have me as a member on the forum, I'm gonna be sticking around. Again, not much for posting, but I'll add where I feel my contributions are worthwhile, and I hope to be able to ask questions when they arise.
