Shelby GT350 Garage Photos

[Les]

Put up a 65" TV in the garage today with MUCH help from an electrician friend of mine. Snaking wires from an existing outlet took a lot of time. He installed an outlet behind the TV to hide the wires. The wires that are hanging down will be hidden when we are done. It took even longer to figure out how to get the smart TV to work with the cable box! Smart TV dumb installers! We were so beat, decided to make it all neat and clean another day. At least we got it working!!!! Hopefully Sunday (weather permitting) I'll pull all the cars out again (which is a pain in the butt) and get everything done. Then I start thinking, should I put my 58" TV in my living room into my bedroom, then put the 65" in the garage in my living room and buy a BIGGER TV for the garage......hmmmmm!
Decisions, decisions!

Yeah. 20 years of Hurricanes, humidity, lovebugs and more, I needed a change. Now it's earthquakes, fires and dry heat.
But the Sierras of Nevada/ California including Tahoe, Mammoth, and Yosemite is beautiful country too.

....amen to the lovebugs!!!!!!!!!
ONE trip down to lower Ga did it for me. And I was on a Harley...........

Reno/Sparks sits around 5000ft whereas Tahoe is 7000 to 10000 feet. There is elevation snow and Valley snow. Most of the valley snow melts pretty quickly actually. It definitely has its pros and cons.

Driving the BIG trk into the snow abyss US395 near Alturas, Cali.

Not to get totally off topic (LOL), but how does that truck handle in snow like that? Pucker factor, or are you one of those snow/ice Pros, like the Ice Road Truckers?

Many variables. First is the weight. Empty sucks. No weight on trailer axles/tires. Heavy sucks too, going up & down hills, which is why out in Cali, Nevada, and Oregon we were required to carry chains at all times in the winter. I chained up 14 times last year. Decent tires and middle weight, 18000 to 25000lbs is ideal.

Be steady on the wheel. Slow and easy at 25-35mph and usually it's all good.

I don’t have a badass garage like most of you do, but I do get frickin excited when I see this staring at me whenever I open it!

Cleaned up the wires this morning. The cars are all dusty from sitting outside while hiding the wires. My mission this afternoon is to clean them up while watching TV
I had to edit my post to at least have the appropriate
TV show on! It's Motorweek when they first tested the GT350/R. I remember saying if Ford makes one in Ruby Red that will push me over the edge to get one! They did, it took a few years and I happily did it!

What’s the story on the Roush?

What’s the story on the Roush?

It's a 2012 Kona Blue Roush Stage 3 Phase 1 Roush tune, 6 speed Ordered it Dec 4th of 2011 and got it Jan 7th 2012. (Much quicker than the 8 months for the Shelby). I had a 2002 ZO6 Vette and lost it from a flood in 2011. A friend gave a ride in his 2007 Roush to look at a new ZO6. I ordered the Roush 5 days later. Still very happy with it. It's loud, fast and obnoxious!

Getting a new garage (attached to a new house) In a few months, working on
plans to make it nicer than the current garage.

Couple of snakes in the garage...nice! I have always thought about adding a Viper for "straight line" performance and the uniqueness of them (at least around here).

Would love to hear your thoughts owning/driving both

It's a torque monster that gets a ton of attention. Its smaller than it seems and very low to the ground. The interior is much smaller but it feels very purpose build to be fast.

This is how the garage started when I bought the house 3 years ago…

I like the whole setup. Very nice. I'm really glad you included the New Edge SN95, one of my favorites still.
