How long have the inserts been in the bumpers? Don't you think designs ever need to progress??! :shrug:
I never did like inserts...well some of the black inserts on other colors looked good, but the rest of it was... :xpl:

I figured it did. How do you like your GT500 so far?? Any driving impressions? I must say...I'm quite jealous of your garage. 2005 GT and 2007 GT500...very nice!

So far I have really enjoyed her. I picked up the car from Freedom Ford in Hampton Virginia (same place I got my GT) last week and drove home to Florida taking back roads the whole way. I have about 1100 miles on it now and I am really enjoying the car. Nice tight car, wonderful smooth delivery of power and great brakes. Feels more nimble than I expected. It will be my daily driver.

The car attracts more attention than my GT does, yes I am serious!

Mine is blue with white stripes.

Change sometimes is good.
It is an opinion of the buyers I quess if it is good or not. I am a mustang owner and potential future buyer ,so that IMO.

Great to hear you enjoy it! I can't believe it gets more attention than your GT...it makes me want to go buy one right now.

Car is absolutely AWESOME in person!

Hey Ryan;

I was at the Victor car show too with my son. How'd you like that Saleen S7? They said that one cost 499K and was privately owned.

Did you see the that caravan of Camaro's that went parading past on Route 12, one by one? What a bunch of JackA****. Wandell jumped on the microphone and yelled "keep going guys, only FORDS allowed in her". That was priceless.

That Saleen S7 was amazing to see in person. I couldn't believe how low it was. I had a blast at that show...def one of the best shows of the summer.

I heard after I left that the GT500 and Ford GT raced. I left at about noon.

No problem, was not aware that a superimposed picture of a overweight Cobra was offensive.

The horse has been beaten to death enough times. Maybe like 65,000 or more. It's old news.

We ALL appreciate the cooperation!

I thought the picture was a fresh take on an elderly subject matter.

I give you thumbs up for atleast making it funny and not a belly ache. :lol1: ;-) :beer:

You picked the car up in Hampton? That's kinda random. Probably made for a nice long trip back to Florida. I saw a Tungsten Ford GT in Virginia Beach the other day with platinum stripes. Also purchased from Freedom in Hampton, it had paper tags and was purchased that same day.
