That twisted orange GT500 is going to look very nice along side the racing orange 30th anniversary orange Miata I have on order. It has matching orange calipers;

I have the #2 slot at my Ford dealer for a GT500. The automatic is welcome to me as I recently damaged my right shoulder for the 3rd time and cannot drive any of my stick shift cars. I think I am headed for an all automatic trans fleet in the future. I took my GT350 to a car event on Saturday...

June 2017, I don't know the exact build date. I've not received a notice from Ford to schedule an appointment. I hate the thought that they pull the whole dash. The chances of rattles or malfunctioning parts goes way up when the dash is removed.

My 2017 GT350 has a VIN match for the recall. It has a 6/17 build date.

I attended the event 2 weeks ago. I have a bit over 7,500 track day miles over the last 20 years and I did learn a few new things and honed other skills. You will spend the morning doing small coned courses in parking lots learning/practicing things like increasing/decreasing radius turns...

Last Monday we were finished with the "graduation" ceremony a little before 5 PM. A few people left before the ceremony at around 4:30. The airport is about a 20 minute drive from the track.

Also 73 for a couple months. Still doing track events and enjoying my cars, all of them manual transmissions and high performance models.

If Orange Fury had been available when I bought my triple yellow 2017 I would have opted for the orange. I liked it better before they put the stripes and rocker panel stripes. Some friends bought an Orange Fury GT and I like it better than my yellow.

In that situation just apply a little hand brake, just enough to stop the spinning wheel and you will drive right out of it on the other wheel. Remember to release the hand brake after you have all four wheels on the ground. Typical of a Torsen diff.

The woman said these boys have been conditioned by their abusers to think that no one cares about them or would be kind to them. I encouraged them to talk to the car other owners as car people are generally good and friendly people. I noticed them later in the day in a group around many...

Took it to a C&C this morning. It was a benefit for an animal rescue place. I wasn't aware of it but a group of people went around the show of about 200 cars and casually judged them. When I was about to leave a woman came up to me and said there was a note on my windshield asking me to not...

How long did it take from order to delivery? I ordered and paid for the exact same knob on April 24th and am still waiting for it. 1st email inquiry on 5/5/18 got a return that made no sense at all. 2nd inquiry on 6/1/18 got an "8 - 10 days roughly" shipping promise.

I went past your car twice but you were not there. Sorry I missed you. BTW your car looks great.

Is it possible you could save us 2 parking spaces next to you? I try to get there by 8 AM, I'm not a morning person.
