Took the Shelby and the 00R out today.

Ran a couple errands in the Shelby late this afternoon and had to snap a pic with some low sun lighting:

I then took the wife out to dinner in the R. Of course I couldn't park it in the restaurant parking lot. It stayed across the street in a school parking lot (after hours).

After dinner, we took the grocery getter to Walmart!:rolling: The wife snapped a pic:

As we left dinner, it was dusk. I often drive with just the fog lights/driving lights when it just begins to get dark... One half pull of the light switch and started driving down the road. I was thinking the driving lights weren't very bright on the R when it hit me!... The R doesn't have driving lights - they were replaced with brake cooling ducts! Dooooop!:dw:


This is the first time I drove the car at night and was surprised to see the instrument cluster having red lit needles on green gauges. The picture doesn't do it justice. It looks neat.

I wonder how many R guys also own or have owned shelbys as well. I bet its a pretty big number.

Thanks guys. Although the Shelby is faster, the R is much more "beastly." It is 100% full time race car and a hoot to drive.

cool flooring what did you use? Nice stable anything else in there?

I had it done. They used metallic epoxy with a gloss top coat.

As for cars, I have 6 Stangs counting the 02 GT I recently gave to my 16 year old son. The others are an 89 GT vert, 93 Cobra, 00R, 04 Cobra vert and an 11 GT500.
