The last two weeks my new GT350R has been getting prepped for my cross country delivery and drive from San Antonio to my Home in Portland

The guys at Relentless shine went above and beyond the call of duty. Install included PPF on the full front and rockers, ceramic coating on everything else and they even installed front mud flaps for me. Unexpectedly they had to help me out with my tire install when the dealer backed out of installing my tires.

Cameron Touch and his brother the owners of Relentless shine went to work to help me get the tires installed at Blackjack speed shop and even helped me ship the takeoffs back home! Stand up guys, I highly recommend checking them out if you live in the area.

My sales rep Kalahant Cebollero at Southway Ford really helped pull everything together remotely for me, including coordinating with Cameron getting the car to their shop and helping me out with the tires. Another great guy and I couldn't have pulled it off without him!

Here's a video of the delivery done by Kalahant with his drone:



So I met the team and my car on Tuesday- shook hands and hit the road... only to have a check engine light! Worse the car seemed to be in limp mode, I couldn't turn on the AC. Ugh... Well long story short I spent an unscheduled night in San Antonio while the car was being repaired at Southway Ford. The techs there did a great job of finding a very strange fault. The wire harness around the engine was installed improperly and was rubbing up against the serpentine belt, which cut into a few wires! The repair was time consuming but luckily I was able to leave this morning and hit the road to Roswell NM via Texas Hill Country.

Did any Extra Terrestrials give you an escort through Roswell? (Had to do it :giggle:)

Great looking GT350R, best of luck with it!

Love posts like this. I took delivery of my 2016 and drove it from Texas to Maryland and it was one of the fondest memories I have of that car.

Beautiful car. Enjoyed the photo journey. Looks like you need to reset your heads-up display RPM counter! Now that I think of it though, mine is set for track mode and come together as the RPM approaches 8k.

Nice Car! I've made that drive a bunch of times, not in one of my mustangs yet though. Planning in taking the 350 from Houston up through Taos, and then through Colorado this summer! Hope you've enjoyed the drive!

Took our car to the underground parking- it stalled and wouldn't restart! Had to enlist a team of men to push it out so...

That sucks. Still a beautiful car. Went to school in Roswell. The drive between there and Vaughn is brutal. Lol

Wow, that has to be killer, 2 trips to the dealer and not even home yet... love the car, stripe delete makes it perfect.

funny story, drove through Roswell all the time back and forth from central Texas to SoCal. One drive me and my wife at the time totally lost 30mins.. don’t know wtf for. Maybe we both fell asleep as I was driving. But we were talking, it was quiet for what seems like seconds, next thing we know 30 mins later about 40 miles down the road we “woke up” lol. Still 20 years later don’t know wtf happened to us haha
