Denstang65 Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 My DD is a 65 Shelby tribute. I do not want it any other way. Mabey some day I will get a second vehicle, but for now I am happy. The red GT500 was parked in a parking lot and I thought it would be cool to have both cars in a picture together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew DeSpirito Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 My daily driver is a 2008 Focus S sedan, vista blue 5-speed, NO options. Manual windows, manual door locks, manual transmission...I call her "Manual." Wife's daily driver is a blue 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4X2 quad cab, 4.7L V8, 6-speed manual. Wanted an F-150, but can't get 'em with a stick! As you can see, we have a sickness. She commutes 100 miles a day in that thing, getting 17mpg. I'm trying to get her to test drive a Fiesta! :happy feet: Of course, tomorrow's Fun Car Friday (as it is every Friday), so the Shelby comes to work with me. I leave extra early so I can miss the traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcurrent Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 05 Honda Civic Hybrid. 5 speed, 45 MPG driving pretty aggressively. I let it get so dirty I can't see out the windows. On the freeway, it is usually faster than my GT500 and under normal conditions it is much faster than almost any other car. Corvettes, Ferraris, BMW M cars, it doesn't matter - I leave them in the dust! Can you guess what the mods on my Honda are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA DEE Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 My GT500, 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra and soft-tail Harley Custom all live sheltered lives.

BIKEBOY Posted July 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Well, living in the same God-forsaken state as you do, my toys hibernate from early November till April too! Man, I need to move to the Southwest...Phoenix or San Diego!!! Maybe SanDiego...but NOT Phoenix, my friend!! I'm here to tell you. I was born and raised, and ordered my '07 GT500 there and until two months ago, it was sitting in an A/C'd garage stored while I've been up in Toronto for the past year and a half. The one worry you have in Phx, is the blistering sun on our 'cheezy' tape stripes! Unless you had a stripe delete? The other thing that NO-ONE ever considers, is that for about five months in the summer, it's NO fun to drive around with your windows up, and the A/C on!! Can't feel the power of the car....can't truly hear the exhaust the way it's meant to be heard...and you jut feel, well, 'all bound up'?! Living in AZ. is NOT all that people think it is! I live in Toronto now for a short window of time, and still have my AZ. plates on all my cars. The people up here are constantly asking me,"why on earth would you leave Phx. for this cold, snowy unforsaken place"? I always tell the same story! Nobody has any clue! Just ask these other dudes I see posting here from AZ. If their honest, they will tell you the same thing. Now SanDiego.........Totally different story!!!! Just too much TRAFFIC!

Nitemare Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Just curious what other FORD and SHELBY guys drive as their beaters? I use an old Exploder for my daily beater and for snow.

BIKEBOY Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Finally downsized a photo of the DD. I am going to do a lower rocker stripe similar to our 500's in Tungsten Silver FORD RACING Note the '07 Mustang GT hood scoop. (fit perfectly) SALEEN replica rear wing, and 4.0 badges from v6mustangstuff.com. I sanded off the chrome on the badges to more closely match the argent flares. The wheel center caps are from a 2005 Exploder. Just a subtle difference to the eye. I actually ordered the windshield banner from FORD for the 500, and chickened out at the last minute and installed on the Exploder. I should probably wait till it's warmer out to do the rocker decal, for best adhesion. Just turned over 57k miles on the trip down to Jersey from Toronto. Eeeesshh....'turned over' is probably not the best phrase to use anywhere near an Exploder!!! I love this old turd, though it rides like a hay wagon...body-on-frame design and all. All of these newer SUV's are uni-bodies and ride like cars, and frankly feel 'numb' to the road. This old Exploder handles more similar to a Mustang and the steering wheel and seats resemble the old Fox cars to a tee! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glroy Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 My 08 4cly peg leg ranger. It breaks the tires loose in the wet and around corners.

William Rodgers Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 VW CC 4Motion, thing rocks in the New England winters!!!!!!!!!!! This is my 3rd VW and I have owned an Audi as well as a Porsche, all have been the most solid built cars I have ever owned. Hold there value well also. Family hauler is a Honda Odyssey Touring, I have to say for its purpose it blows away the Ford Expedition we traded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 I sold my Bigass Van a few Months ago and have to use my 2005 Tribute Edition Shelby G.T. 350 Mustang Coupe as a daily driver, it is #009 for the 2005 Models. I hate that it is my Daily Driver but it is all I have right now. I am thinking about putting it up for sale soon so I can get a Lime Twist Fiesta with 5 Speed to customize.

WYTSNKE Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 My DD is an '08 Mazda3 ... it's not a Shelby, but still a hoot to drive (decent gas mileage, too). Also need to mention that it's a close cousin to the Ford Focus (when Ford still had a 25% stake in Mazda). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
