My owner's supplement finally arrived after two months of waiting.

The Ruby Red poster was a nice touch.

Very nice!

I got mine yesterday too! Total surprise - had forgotten all about it!

WIFE: "Did you order more toys for that car?!?"
ME: "No! (fleeing) I don't think so! What does the box say?"
WIFE: "It's from some lady in Michigan! Who do you know in Michigan? Why is she sending you things?"
ME: (still fleeing) "I don't know anyone in Michigan! That's where the Shelby was built! Please stop chasing me, the neighbors are watching!"

Now that's just plain funny Randy... I could picture the whole scene while reading this.
Great humor...!!!!
The "GT350 or C8" thread could use some of this humor.

HAHA! I know this feeling!

That would absolutely make my blood boil. Is that an unhappy neighbor? Exhaust noise? I would install security cameras ASAP.

Yes, was very sad and upset day to be sure. didnt break the clear coat so I am guessing some idiot kids. regardless... never thought i would need cameras where i live, but yes going to install some...

Im upset for you as well. Hope its no too bad. Really sucks, people have no respect for other peoples property. I have cameras and it was a great investment for peace of mind and deter that stuff.

Make sure you always drive it in sports mode. I just found out after a year of ownership that there is a huge difference in normal and sports mode lol

So nice, yours looks awesome! Thanks! Looks so much better without the stripes. As soon as my shop goes up, I'll have my wash bay going in and I'll get to work.

Yeah, the throttle response is much better and it's more lively in sport mode, that's for sure.

The UPR catch can will help keep the throttle response great. Congrats, I have a ruby too.

It's been slow going, but the shop has made tons of progress.


This also showed up yesterday.

Alright Jimmy... enough is enough.
Your car is gorgeous and your shop is probably going to be spectacular... but you only gave us a teaser, no updated construction photos.
Now this... new wheels, but only a teaser.
Well, I did some research and I'm going to let the cat out of the bag on what those new rims look like:

Here are some shop updates as requested.

There is still a ways to go, but it's coming along. The pool house portion is framed, and we've started to run electricity. The area under the patio will have a glass garage door and there will also be a walk door, but that still needs to be cut out. Don't mind the grass as that will be concrete soon enough.

The shop is being foam insulated now, and we'll knock the garage doors out soon.
