Nothing really idiotic, but my wife is continually amazed at guys reactions to the car. To her is a just a pretty black car.
My wife is not a car girl. She had zero interest in my SVO or anything else that is sporty, but she is a peach of a girl and she supports my interests. To her this is a car that is too loud and not as comfy as a nice ride in the F-350. I stopped at a store to pick up a couple of things I had ordered, she happily waited in the car. According to her a guy pulls up in a truck and sits staring at the Shelby is all of it's freshly waxed, black on black glory. Then he pulls across from the car and stares for a a few more minutes, as he gets out and stands there admiring the car he realizes she is sitting there reading a magazine and apologizes for the stares, he told her it was a beautiful car and he has always wanted one since he read about them in 2015. She seriously does not understand why guys like cars so much, she would rather be higher up with more view of the road.
Next time out we stopped at Costco and parked in the back 40 to avoid door dingers. As we are loading up a guy drives over and stops, says he loves the car, asks a few questions and said he wishes he had the nerve to buy one but his better half doesn't approve, drives off smiling. Went to a friends house for a bbq after that stop. A random kid in tuned GTI stops, rings doorbell and asks if it is okay to take pictures.
Two weeks ago we did our summer road trip thru the mountains. Stopped at last gas station for 75 miles to top off, just in case. Guy in motorhome behind us waiting on the pump rolls down window and asks, "Is it fast?" I replied, "It will get past anything but a gas station, hahaha." He says, "It sure looks fast, even sitting still."
There are maybe five GT350's in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, two or three guys post here. It is a very uncommon car in my region. Hellcats and Vettes are a dime a dozen.
