Well to start with I'm 72 and way past doing what I did a couple of weeks ago. Brand new 2018 GT350 in Lead Foot Gray. Haven't driven a stick in 50 years, my Expedition felt kind of sporty when you ask her for some go until I drove this guy home. In between forgetting about the clutch at a stop or two and my slow learn in 1st I was shocked when I turned home on an empty road and well you know. One last thing I dreamed about a Boss 302 since high school so this was like a dream on steroids. Unlike a lot of you mine will never see the track (except for a small track near me where I think you run alone) or the strip. But it will sit covered in the garage and wait for me to need lift and so far it's been a lift.
So I have questions. I'm not putting any miles to speak of on it so how long do I wait to get the break-in oil changed? Will the car use time more than miles when looking at the oil change? When in normal expressway traffic do shift from 5th to 6th (what speed). Well those should install me as a rookie. Thanks in advance.
PS the Cobra badge gets lost on the gray/black background, anyway to get the red ones they use on the R.
