Mustang Joe Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 My son and I just got back from the Woodward Dream Cruise and we had a blast. Once the rain let up, things got hopping. Saw a couple of Shelbys there, so I may have seen some of you guys. Is this anyone on the board? Anyways, we're walking the side streets and up ahead I spy a Shelby convertible with over-the-top stripes and I figure I'd better get a picture. We get a little closer and my son says, "Hey, where's the diffuser?". I just shook my head and said, "Son, there are all kinds of people in this world. Don't ever be one of those..."

150man Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Hmmm... they forgot to put a Shelby front end, and a Shelby spoiler on it. Small little oversite I guess. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emailcm Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Damn Posers! You know what. I saw the same thing in LA earlier this week. I was leaving UCLA heading down Westwood Blvd and my wife pointed it out to me (I was on the phone). It was exactly like the one you posted pictures of, except it was black. I tried as hell with traffic to line up our cars so I lambast him to the point that he would remove his stupid poser aftermarket labels. That stuff really me off.

I care because it trailer trashes the essence of what a shelby truly represents. But, then again maybe you're right...I shouldn't. Ladies purchase fake LV purses all the time and it doesn't water down that brand. Mullet heads should have their dream come true too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely a POSER wannabee!! But here's the REAL THING!! And IMO,looks 100% better with the stripes on the convertible! It's a friend car and it looks hott!!!!! What a difference!!! He had stripes added on at dealers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang Joe Posted August 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Is the car some sort of status symbol to you? Well, from the tone of your post it's obvious you don't think there's anything special about the car. However, there are plenty of people who do. The evidence is the fact that people have spent time and money to create a clone. It seems like that bugs you. That must be why you keep trying to rain on everyone's parade...

That must be why you keep trying to rain on everyone's parade... It seems to me you're trying to rain on that guys parade who put some emblems on his car. Let him do what he wants. You aren't "better" than him. It seems YOU are bugged. I am not bugged at all by that guys car. I care because it trailer trashes the essence of what a shelby truly represents.

Guest evilchris Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 People who see it and think it is a Shelby end up thinking it isn't very special after all. It deteriorates what the car really is, but what is the saying 'imitation is the greatest flattery' (or something like that). In this case it is not very flattering. Do you care what other people think of it? I sure as hell wouldn't. If you like the car why do you CARE what someone who saw a fake thinks of it? I keep my 5.0's around because I LOVE them. Most people don't. Does nothing to me. Caring what other people think of your car and whatever "image" you think it lends to you is where the term "penis extension" comes in. Are you buying the car so people look at you getting out of it and think "wow he's so cool, he has a Shelby"? They aren't. They might think "nice car" and admire the car, but couldn't care less about the driver. So I say again, who cares? It doesn't detract at all from the value of the car because anyone in the market to buy one will already know what it is and be a fan of it.

kaylan1521 Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Guys have been putting Bullitt badges on just about everything since they came out and now it'll be Cobras badges and GT500 stickers. Honestly I am embarassed for the guys that do this. I saw a V6 vert with Bullitt rocker stickers, trunk badges and NOS stickers. I just smile and try not to embarass the guy while driving into the shop with my Bullitt and a whistling noise coming from under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the above posters putting a blower on a Bullitt makes you a poser though, you copied the Cobra! It's been Cobra badges since forever, I see it all the time but don't care.

Guest evilchris Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 You know in 1991 I had Cobra emblems on my 5.0, and wired my alarm LED to its eyes. It was slick as hell. That was 2 years before Ford made an SVT Cobra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 2 years before Ford made an SVT Cobra. This kind of stuff does not bother me. However, the guy with the silver Gt that has the Bullitt trunk badge and is trying to pass it off as the elusive silver Bullitt, you know, the only silver one ever built. He even did a VIN check and all and it exists...... Those one require Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang Joe Posted August 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Question: Are all the fake 60's "Shelby's" all lame now? Yes. That's why they cost significantly less than the real thing. Are you buying the car so people look at you getting out of it and think "wow he's so cool..blah..blah..blah What? Are you Dr. Phil now? Stop already with the psychotherapy bullsh!t. It's only in your fevered imagination that people look at cars and say, "What a cool driver!". Most car people look at the car and say "now that's a cool car". Hell I just spent the last two days saying not much more than, "now that's a cool car". I like the GT500 rear spoiler and will put one on my GT. Good for you. You going to put the GT500 rocker stripe on it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evilchris Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Good for you. You going to put the GT500 rocker stripe on it too? Never considered that, but since it gets your panties in a bunch I just might, would be worth it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
