AFBLUE Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 Now..I am driving home....stopped at a red light...and a girl pulls up in a Roush.....and flips me the bird. I just smiled Now..I am driving home....stopped at a red light...and a girl pulls up in a Roush.....and flips me the bird. I just smiled LOL! That's too funny. Yep. Anyone who does that is really threatend by your car. This is actually a good sign for SGT owners. A car that stirs such emotion in people (even if it's bad behavior), must be special.

Me and a Saleen were next to each other and we waved and smiled at each other. I get so many stares at this car that I would rather drive the speed limit and have people go by and stare. Also I get disturbed when I have my music up, people just wait next to me until I acknowledge that they are there so I will turn it down to answer their question. I love it!! Wonder how long this is going to last. Interesting to see when I get my GT500 what kind of stares I will get. The Shelby GT is such a beautiful car both black or white that people just can't help but look. AF is right too, some people feel threatened. Too funny! Hold on Sherri it's coming!!

ShelbyPilot Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 ....Mr. Roush is making a stop at a local dealership at the end of August. I am going because i am a NASCAR fan and thought it would be interesting. I did register and pay because I wanted to have a good parking spot and not get stuck on the street. I wonder what the reaction will be. I probably should take some protection. Sunset Ford in Westminister on Aug 30th if anybody would like to offer back up....... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriMac Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Yesterday when I came out of the a store, there were two teen-age girls taking pictures of mine with their cell phones. They were walking away while I was approaching, and they must have watched me, because as I approached and opened the door, I heard "O MY GOSH, IT'S HIS", just made me grin ear to ear. Told my wife we are going to get sued for whip-lash some day. :D I can't believe the heads this car turns.

mywickedshelby Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I noticed while out cruising a 2 lane twisty the other day that as approaching cars caught sight of my SGT, THEY WOULD DRIFT OVER THE DOUBLE YELLOW AS WE PASSED EACH OTHER. After about 50 times, I realized that each oncoming driver was so absorbed in checking out my car as they passed, not watching the road, they would drift over the line. A couple of times it was closer than I would have liked.................. be careful out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump_breaker Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 I came in today mad as heck and swearing I was going to sell the car. If I'm in my Jeep, I have no problems with traffic. If I'm in the Honda, they actually move out of the way so I will get that eyesore off the road quicker. If I'm in the Shelby, holy crap! I can't go anywhere, can't change lanes, and can't accelerate above 50 because I have this cloud of cars surrounding me and then if I geat an opening and break for it, I get looked at like I'm the ahole. Now I know what a movie star feels like with the paparatzzi (msp?) surrounding them and can understand why they kick a little butt every now and then! I actually missed an exit on the highway because some dillhole would not move to let me off. He wanted to look at the car.... I think the new has worn off...... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterguy959 Posted July 22, 2007 Report Share Posted July 22, 2007 Stump you are so right! Just got from cruising the car and doing some errands, still breaking in the motor. Felt like "Goldie" the gold fish in the proverbial gold fish bowl. WOW, so many heads turning not sure who was driving the cars. I ran into one of those little imports with the "Fart" can, he was darting in and out of traffic to catch up to me, I looked at him and gave him the "Car Guy" nod and turned off the highway. Oh and the Zaino wax job looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeThinksItsHis_merged Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Sder it's a good thing we don't live in the same state we would be brutal on all the kids I had Frank out the other day on the way home from work and the windows were up it gets pretty hot here in Texas. Anyway some kids (4 guys) pull up next to me in an import and start reving the engine trying to get me going. Mind you im almost 40 so i play coy like i'm ignoring them. Soon as the light turns green I punch Frank and he does his usual i'm outta here you guys can check out my tail lights. We get up to the next red light and the kids come up and all of them are doing the old Saturday night routine of "Were not worthy" to me. LOL best laugh I have had in a while.
