CrazyDave_merged Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 When I got my new ride home on the 4th, my wife looked inside and the first thing she said was, "Are you going to take that silly Shelby plate off the dash, it looks tacky?" My 12 year old son turned to me, and rolled his eyes. I just looked down, shaking my head. Lets face it, these cars are mostly "for men only".

Michael Morris Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 wait she might have something. if you take off the plate and put a flower holder there. then you could put a new flower in your car everytime you drive it or the flower holder could be used to hold her lipstick. im going to start working on this mounting bracket right now. IM GOING TO BE RICH!!!!! michael morris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLa1Rob Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Mike, For the real man, you could devise a spittoon to replace the tacky dash plaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 and the signatures of the guys that work on them. OMG. I can't believe I'm going to ask this giving the testosterone and estrogen flying around right now but,......... ............ what signatures? *ducking* And plate in the trunk? Did I get the same car as y'all? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbysquire Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 The signatures are under the compressed fix-a-flat can in the trunk compartment. Also on the mufflers, but on the side against the floorpans, they didn't want them wearing off. Apparently there are rumors that there are signatures and sometimes an envelope with the names of the final prep crew under the passenger side carpet, front (not rear seat).

My 12 year old son turned to me, and rolled his eyes. I just looked down, shaking my head. Lets face it, these cars are mostly "for men only". My wife loves our M5, I haven't gotten the keys out of her hand since we got it two years ago; I guess I have to say that it's her M5 because I never get to drive it...Needless to say, she's American/German/Italian and has never owned an American car. As for the GT500, she calls it, "that stupid car" and since I re-did the exhaust "it's too loud" :rolleyes: ... But our two boys have spoken, the Shelby is cool and they'd rather ride with Dad in the Shelby than with Mom in the M5 and that just kills her; eventhough there's more room in the back seat area of the M5, they'd rather be cramped and cruzin' in the Shelby. Honestly, I think my wife is jealous of the GT500 because it's faster than the M5, WAY FASTER!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 12 year old son turned to me, and rolled his eyes. I just looked down, shaking my head. Lets face it, these cars are mostly "for men only". My experience has been about the same. "It's too loud", "It has a crappy ride", " Why did you buy black and not blue?" The last time she road in it she opened passenger the door so wide it hit a bush in our driveway and almost scratched the paint. But she let me get the thing and I love her for that!

CrazyDave_merged Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Lucy has come around, she actually likes the car too. Because I let her drive it. But, she also says "it's cute". I don't know about the rest of you Shelby owners, but CUTE is not the word I would ever used to describe my Shelby. Awesome, Bitchin, Fat, Cool, Wow, Beautiful, Hot, Sleek, Low, Pretty, Neat, are some descriptions that come to me. Cute, No. Mini Coopers are cute. Miatas are cute.

Now that you said "cute" regarding Mini Coopers, that's exactly what was going thru my mine in deciding what kind of car to get. I strongly considerd the 350Z............. but it was too ricey the Corvette........... but I never liked Corvettes the Mini Cooper.............. but the word "cute" comes to mind The Shelby GT............. AWESOME! I think this new Shebly GT is the best looking car, bar none that I've ever seen. I can't find a single angle or viewpoint that doesn't look good. All the other cars had some angles that just didn't satisfy. My wife does like the looks of the car, but would prefer a blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyPilot Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 ....I think every woman who has looked at my car except one who was a Mustang girl, told me the car was cute. It started an incrediably funny conversation at work one day when one of my female coworkers called it cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
