RUFDRAFT Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Here we go! I think this Mustang may see more garage time than previous ponys in recent years. I'm driving mine every day - I have no choice! Opinions on this are going to be varied. Some want to preserve the car - while others feel like it needs to be driven. And driven like its been designed to be driven - with gusto! (My PSDS is worsening...) :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaylan1521 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I won't drive it everyday, that duty belongs to the F150. However, when I do drive it will certainly be driven hard preferebly at the track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSOLVER Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Looking for my pics of the 97 in the snow(felt like charging the city for snow removal ) when I'm in town and feel the need, everyday. I have two other units at my disposal, but driving these cars all year round proves a point to all the braindead commuters in my area. I have some recommendations on snow tires for anybody who PM's. And if your wondering two weeks ago the car won peoples choice at a show and shine with about 70 cars. So honor the people who fought so hard to get these cars through the process at Ford, and DRIVE IT!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kb67 Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 For me it would be about 3 or 4 days a week most of that would be cruising around on Fri and Sat but I would drive it back and forth to work when the weathers nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pony Ride Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The companys E350 gets all the miles. The Shelby will see very few miles on it. The weekends are spent on my GP 1200R Waverunner . I bought a Typhoon 10 years ago and have only put 1500 miles on it. I try to get out to the week day cruise nites with the 02 bird. Plan on taking the Shelby as long as they take newer cars. A lot of them have age of car restictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, if you show up in the GT500, they will be more than happy to make a spot up front for you and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUFDRAFT Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 A bit off topic... When I was in college, in Wilmington NC, back in the '90s, I washed windows with a guy for some cash money. We got to a house one day, and my buddy says, "this is the house of Craig Tallberg (the then owner of the Chevy store in Wilmington - now it's Jeff Gordon Chevy). So we go in, he's not home, and my buddy and I head for the garage! In it, was a new (then BMW Z4) Bimmer, two Harley's and a 1964 Vette Vert (red). The keys were in the ignition (!). The top was down. I looked at the odometer - it had 64 miles on it. I almost passed out! :happy feet: I wonder where it is now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolly Roger Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I live in Michigan, and I plan to drive my Shelby as much as I can during good weather. That means it will be parked in the garage during the winter , unless the roads are dry, which will make the long winters here seem both cold and cruel.

RUFDRAFT Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Well - for our brothers and sisters Up North - fear not. Those of us "down here" will provide you with as many vicarious driving experiences as we can during the winters! I spent 25 years in CT - so I can relate to suffering through the ice age.

Super Cobrajet Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I won't need to drive it everyday, but I have a feeling I won't be able to leave it at home. No snow driving but I don't think a little Oregon liquid sunshine will hurt it. I'm just wondering if everybody at my office will figure out why I have a permagrin. :bandance: I can't wait.

Fastbackman Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 I'll drive it on nice days, both weekdays and weekends. As far as how I plan on driving it, I won't abuse it, but I plan on having some fun and going fast when I can safely do so. That's why I must invest in the Beltronics RX65 radar detector!

DVS2XS Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The F250 is my daily driver/work truck, the GT500 will be a horse that gets ridden hard and put away wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rheller Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 When I bought my 68 GT500 back in '74 from the original owner, he told me only a 427 Vette would beat it. I never got the chance, but used to smoke GTO's down on 1st Street, in San Jose. Now as a 54 y.o. New Englander, I'll be babying my '08 GT500 a lot more.
