07SHELBY GT Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 This thread brings back a lot of memories!I've ridden in a lot of the cars listed that I didn't own.You Ford guys will like this,A friend of mine had a 68' Hemi Road Runner when I had my 73 Mustang coupe in Wimbledon White with black Vinyl top(Remember those?!),And hubcaps.Now for the good part it also had a 70' 351 Cleveland 4 barrel that was built justa little.She was a pig outta the hole but at about 4500,LOOK OUT!Hemi said I couldn't beat him.Ha!he also wanted to run from a roll.Double Ha!I was behind him and said I would get after it when I saw him go.Next thing I see is a little black smoke which means that all 8 barrels are open for business on the Hemi.I pulled it to first and HOLY COW!,I took off reeling him in quick and passed him by the time I was deep into second on the C6,All I could see when I passed him was his mouth making some movement that looked like WTF! I never let him live that down and he never knocked the Cleveland again.That is about my favorite ford motor.Hemi=Needs experienced tuner to come get some! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Rodgers Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Wow, let me try to remember them all. I have been driving 18 years, let me give this a shot- This is in order of ownership, I think I got them all- 1970 Chevy Nova- Got it for free, car was awesome, had it through high school. 1987 Ford Escort GT- Hit a Mercedes head on in a snow storm up in Maine, that was the end of this car. 1991 Ford Escort- Bought new, needed something cheap, this fit the bill, could not break this thing, put 125k trouble free miles and sold it, still ran great. 1992 Mazda Miata- Very fun car and bullet proof. 1992 Saab 9000 Turbo- This car flew. Engine was bullet proof, to bad the rest of the car was not. Put over 200k on this engine and still ran like a champ. Donated it. 1988 Porsche 911- Loved this car, wish I still had it. Sold it to pay for my wedding. Car was immaculate. 2002 VW Jetta GLI- Nice car, very tight and loved the VR6 smooth engine. 2003 20th Anniversary GTI- Another nice car, but I had no garage and the Black Paint killed me. 2004 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon- Nice for a toy, worst gas mileage ever, great in the snow, worst stopping car I have ever driven. 2006 Audi A4 2.0T- The nicest daily driver I have had, this car was great. 2005 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer- Kid hauler, with gas prices I am thinking maybe I should have gone with the Mini-van. Great truck otherwise.(Still have this) 1998 BMW M3 Convert- Another Great car, but out of warranty. Traded this puppy in for the Shelby, no regrets even though I got ripped off big time. 2007 Honda Accord- Daily Driver, still have this. Great car so far. (Still have this) 2007 Mustang Shelby GT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(Obviously still have this) BMW with Expedition- Notice the Miata and the Saab in the reflection Porsche with GTI in back Audi A4 Only one I have of Jetta in front of my old house when I just moved in with nose of Saab Jeep Rubicon with a little Saab Miata Shelby GT My wife thinks something is wrong with me, I used to think she was crazy................Now you made me think of all these cars and I am thinking she may be on to something.

ejrail Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Growing up in Cental NJ, my mother was chronically ill but my Dad bought "her" her a brand new 1967 289 Mustang coupe a few months after I happened to get my first drivers license. I count this a my first car as I put all of the miles on it. After that came college and marriage. Car dealers probably don't like me since I keep a car forever. Here goes: 1964 Chevy Bel Air 1968 Chevelle 1970 Ford Maverick Grabber 1973 Firebird We moved to Utah in the summer of 1974. I got in to off-roading which explains the 4x4's. We also were in to 3 & 4 wheelers and lots of desert trips. You definately don't want to live in Utah and work at a ski resort with out a 4x4. 1973 Chevy Blazer 4x4 1979 Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 p.u. 1986 Merc. Sable 1993 Chevy Beretta 1996 Chevy 3/4 4x4 p.u. 2004 Gran Am 2004 Dodge Dakota 4x4 p.u. 2007 Shleby GT, black #2940 Many years after we moved to Utah my Dad decided to sell the 1967 Mustang. It was garaged for it's entire life. It had 27K on the odometer after 30 years! The local NJ Ford dealer was after him every year to sell it back to them. I offered to fly back and drive it to Utah. He sold it to a local nursing student for $3,000. I still can't believe he did that. As much as I enjoyed my Chevelle and Firebird, they weren't a Shelby. MIne is a week end driver so I imagine I will be putting it in my will as I don't plan on ever parting with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
