[QUOTE="Captain Fluffy Nuggies, post: 16961554, member: 197447"] When I met my wife, she would always say things to me like, "I've always wanted a V8 sports car, but I don't know what to get". Of course, I had been pining for my dream Cobra since I sold my Fauxbra in the late 00's, and was always pushing her towards a Mustang anyway. Long story short, her mother passed and left her some inheritance, with that, we paid off her daily driver, and that freed up some extra cash so now I could go out and finally get my dream car, my 97 Cobra. After I got my car, we started looking around for her dream V8 sports car, and she made sure it was something extra special and not a 'run of the mill' GT, or something common. I even briefly tried to get her into a Viper when they were still somewhat affordable back then. She was seriously considering a Mystichrome coupe at one point, but her plan was to occasionally drive it to work, and I said, nu uh not with that paint and her parking lot!!! We found a nice low mileage 09 Shelby GT500 that was supposedly tuned to over 700+ hp, it was at a local Mercedes dealership and the previous owner really loved it and took care of it, but the clutch made the thing nearly undrivable. It was more like an on/off switch than a clutch. We drove it, she hated it, I didn't like it and we left. As we were leaving, there was a Ford dealership right next to it, and sitting out front was an 07 Shelby GT500. We were mostly concerned with the first one we drove, and had no idea this one was even sitting there. We popped in, and took it for a test drive WITH the last owner (who was a salesman at the dealership). I drove it first and it felt very good. She drove it, and it seemed to just kind a click with us. So she bought it. Now, fast forward 3 years later, and it's now a hobby we both share. To be perfectly honest, I was a little gun shy at first to welcome her in to one of my hobbies, but now that I get a chance to reflect on everything that we've gotten to do together with our cars, I wouldn't have it any other way, and am super thankful to have her by my side. I just need to get my car to be able to beat hers now lol. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2398.JPG"]1811436[/ATTACH] My wife loves to go fast, and she's kind of an addict with her car to be perfectly honest. She loves the sound, the speed and the looks she always gets from people. I think it takes finding the right one to truly appreciate a fast car and what it's capable of. Hope you're able to find one soon! [/QUOTE]
