Snake-Bit Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Took delivery of my new Shelby this week. :happy feet: The car was scheduled to be delivered on Nov 18, just in time for Thanksgiving. But due to some quality issues it was delivered on Dec 18. I want to thank Coldwaterhotrod for providing me with updates during this delay. I could not get any updates directly from Ford customer service. Anyway the car arrived in perfect condition. It is awsome! The weather here in Indiana will limit my driving until spring My journey of purchasing this car started in July. My wife who does not fully understand this "car thing" but is very understanding of my passion for cars told me to "just go get one". So after shopping around and waiting for the ADM to go down - I placed my order at a local Ford dealer in September. Since ordering my car, I have spent hours lurking around this web site. Great people here and lots of valuable information. I know the rules here - attach pics - so here they are: While I was completing the paperwork, my son took this shot of the Shelby along side of the 05 GT that I traded in on the new Shelby. My son was the first one to take a ride in the car as he shares my same interest in cars. Here is another shot of the car with my daugheter who's name is Shelby (she thinks the car is named after her). Notice the light snow in the background - I am ready for spring! I am not sure what the fastest color is - but I am going to start saving money for a ticket fund. This thing does not want to stay within the speed limit. Am planning on attending Shelbyfest in spring - look forward in meeting several of you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light66 Posted December 20, 2007 Report Share Posted December 20, 2007 Well done and congraulations! With snow on the ground be easy on her so you do not get yourself in trouble from a loss of traction. Hope for sunny days to melt all that snow away!

I hadn't seen one and went with red but after seeing the blue a few weeks ago, Iwish I had considered it further. My red one does look cool though. My wife told me to order mine as well. Enjoy your Christmas and have fun. I'll be pretending in my car during this crap weather as well. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
