The Force Is Strong"R" With This One

You are a hoot. You gonna get another frame for the office to put the free window sticker in? LOL

As for the track day, I've had a bit of a let down. Fast toys in LA has a 350 that I was going to rent. I inquired about it and was told that it is not for track use. They have a boss 302 track car that they will be happy to rent to me for $5,000. So that isn't going to fly.

I was told that there is a place near the track that will rent track miatas, but I cant think of anything more humiliating than getting my ass kicked by a bunch of tech pack 350's.

I'm going to look at one more thing before I throw in the towel, I am going to see what Hertz's rental policy is. If they flat out say it goes against rental policy to track one of their high end cars, then I am stuck.

I'm still looking at all options, but obviously shipping one of the Rs round trip is crazy expensive and involves a bit of risk. As soon as the 500 is announced, I will make my decision to sell HR361 to offset the 500. Someone jokingly said "drive it out and sell it to one of the Californians at the track day".

Do you know anybody who wants to buy a well taken care of TY R with low miles?

I'd consider one way shipping. ;)

The hunt for the elusive GT350 coffee mug is over. Only cost me 68k lol. I hope every sip will be as good as 8250 RPM. Elk Grove Ford has been great to work with.

I was only half joking. ;)

As a matter of fact... I was at a cars and coffee in Portola Valley yesterday with [MENTION=20814]live2ride90[/MENTION]. We were talking with a younger guy, about his McLaren 570, about tracking. Says he signed up for some 60 track days a year package at Sonoma and thought a 2nd track car might be in his future. He was asking what used GT350's where going for these days and I mentioned I knew one guy who's been thinking about selling his track prepped R out of Florida. His eyes perked up when I "joked" about you driving it out to sell after the track day"!

Gotta love when a perfect stranger sends you a care package, because owning mustangs made you family. Very generous people in our community. Got these two 36x24 dealership posters sent to me and framed them today. Wife didn’t want them over the bed though lol. Very close to completing the collection. Just a couple other posters out there I think I am missing. Thanks again Jimmy!

Haven’t had time to update much. Not a whole lot happening, but some fun stuff.

Heading to the Raptor Assault in Utah next week. Looks like snow so I can’t wait for that. Anyone else going March 6-7?

Also bit the bullet and bought something I’ve been wanting for a loooooong time. Should be here his weekend.

One more item left to complete the puzzle before Fab Fords and the Buttonwillow track day in April.
