Budman340 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi all!!!!!!!! Well, I have been with Shelby now for 3 fantastic years. And I really do LOVE my job. After working with and dealing with everybody here, reading everybody's comments, ideas, suggestions, fun topics, and even the rants and raves, you all have made me make a decision that I never thought I would make---or at least so soon...........and, I also have to thank my wife for putting up with me for this long too And now, with the love and support of my wife Beth and also the help and support of Michael Morris (whom after this ordeal will probably never talk to me again ) I am now the newest owner of my very first........................ 2008 SGT CSM# 08SGT0341 WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :party2: There is a really long story behind this deal--which would probably bore you all (for Michael--YALL) to death, but one of the main things to get this done was to quit smoking!!!!!! I normally smoked about a pack a day for the past 25-30 years (yes, I started way too young ). I quit one week ago today!!! Now, when I started to talk about getting one, I told my wife I would quit. She said, ya, I heard that 100x before--which was true. But then, we had a little bit of an awakening--which scarred me a bit. When I came home last Friday, I grabbed the carton with 8 full packs and threw them right into the trash!!!!!!!! So now, until the car hits my door, I will be calling, emailing, texting, sending smoke signals to Michael every hour and on the hour until she arrives!!!!!!! Is she here yet? Is she here yet? Michael, are you listening? Is she here yet? LMAO!!!!!!!!!! And now, I really know and understand (trust me, I did know and understood) what everybody was going through. Mods? Not sure yet. I see we have a few new packages to pick from And now the answer to the age old question......................... What color is the fastest....................................................................... BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bud Hopefully my new sig works :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Budman340 Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Post pics of your new BLUE baby asap Bud! And you guys heard it here first.. From the mouth (keyboard) of an official SAI rep.. Blue IS the fastest color. End of debate! As soon as she hits the door, I will post some pics. Now, the only bad/good thing was my little inside joke that only a couple people caught. When I was posting picks of the different SS colors, I was taking them in front of our sales office. Now, for the inside joke. In just about EVERY pic I took, I made sure my little red Avenger was in the pic LOL Now I'll make sure my SHELBY will be in them!!!! Bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekheavy Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congrats on your purchase Bud, but as we all know, white is the fastest color. :jackinbox: On a side note, you won't have to go too far to get your stripes and hood scoop replaced.

stngfever Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congrats and welcome to this side of the family! Used/New? Coupe/Vert? Let's hope your not expecting a COA, cause if you are you'll just have to wait til ??? or get one of the packages Oh wait a minute, you work for Shelby, you could use this to our collective advantage by taking up the cause for us (hint, hint, hint) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave c Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congrats to you Bud!!!! Getting the car was long overdue. We'll expect it to be all blinged out when we get to Vegas in January. There was one error in your post though.......it's a well known fact that BLACK is the fastest color. We all expect soon. I'm assuming that you will be doing a museum delivery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Well, Bud, today you are a different man. Congratulations. As for the fastest color, my experience is the black and white ones are equally fast, or at least within 0.0000001 of each other. Not much experience with blue ones, but that's because rear-view mirrors are so small and dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgib627 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Wooohooo... Very nice Bud.. Very pleased for you, you deserve it. and cant wait to see some pics. (and thanks again for all your help recently, I know ive had a few questions for you lately!) .. though I am sorry to tell you that I must agree with Frank and Dave, BLACK is fastest color (Particularly Black & Gold!) though I hear Blue is pretty fast too.... he,he Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorjock205 Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congratulations Bud! We are not too far apart in numbers...mine is 08SGT0235...and you are absolutely right about BLUE being the fastest color! One note on the smoking thing...I quit two years ago April 15th...if you should happen to get the strong urge to want another one, grab you some 1000mg Vitamin C tablets with Rose Hips...I quit smoking by taking one tablet in the morning when I first got up before I smoked a cigarette, one tablet at noon, and one tablet at dinner time....Smoking depletes Vitamin C from your system, and 3000mg a day does a good job of replenishing that and it actually cuts the craving for a cigarette way down! Congrats on quitting that nasty habit...you just gave yourself a nice raise so you could afford that beautiful car!!!! Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VorpalBunny Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hey Bud, Awesome news I am so happy for you!!! Enjoy. Actually, we had this color debate among the Terlingua crowd - which of course are widely known as the fastest on the track cars due to weight and handling chracteristics. We decided (well maybe me Patick and others are slowly coming around??) that the Black Terlingua with the yellow hood is the fastest of the the fastest! This is because the black paint helps the car hover ever so slightly above the ground (us reducing drag) and the yellow deep draw hood - only found on the black Terlingua keeps cooler air flowing to the SC ! Plus, my odd black and parchment interior keeps me cooler as well a win/win. Kidding - kinda about color debate - I am thrilled for you and looking forward eagerly to pics, VB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow pony Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Congratulations Bud on the new SGT. Now you'll be able to experience the fun of driving that the rest of us have been experiencing and all the compliments on the "nice car" you'll get when you drive it! Even though its not the fastest color (white holds that title), its still a great car! Good idea to quit smoking! Now you'll have more years to enjoy the SGT and the only smoke coming from it will be when you spin the tires! Enjoy! -yellow pony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
