The SR-71 Has Landed

[Penemyone]

3845 lbs. of understated, pavement matching coolness arrived 8/10. VERY different than what I've driven, so I'm learning how to drive "smoothly". Thanks to everyone on the site and their input/questions on all topics concerning this vehicle. It helped make the process easier and understandable. :rolling:

let 'er rip!

 

[Marc]

Very nice! Congrats!

 

[Iceman5000]

The PP Wheels look better on that color than any other color, by far!!!

The SR-71 was black and called the blackbird. You should call it the YF-12 which was a variation that NASA tested and was silver with black trim.

Congrats!! Did you really drive it home with the plastic still on the seats?

 

[flyby763]

Looks just like mine!

Looks awesome without the stripes. More serious less look at me. Most of the stripe delete cars look boring but this color works.

 

[BOD89LX]

Looks very nice and a bit of a sleeper..

I just noticed the glass roof! Sweet! I am guessing you love that?

I was kind of scared they wouldn't match up because I couldn't find any up close pics of one, but it turned out okay.

Didn't base it on color, just function and speed like in the sig below. Was at the DB for 3 years but I was able to go home everyday @ 1630 ;-)

I really did lol. It was only about 6 miles from the house, so it was a very fast trip! Lovvvve the glass roof!

I was looking for low key and understated. It does match most of the roads around here. Hopefully it will cut down on tickets.

It's not a package, but the fastest production jet ever put into service. It was used for surveillance and could actually outrun missiles fired at it.

It's certainly not a 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger Z-64 Turbo 5-speed. Wasn't too many of us that owned one of those :rockon:Actually forgot I had one back then until I noticed your pic.
