montego460 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 well i am not sure if this post is going to work with the photos or not but i will give it a shot,the worst case is i will look like an idiot.Anyway it has been a 2 year battle for me and it is a long long long story but it looks like the dream is coming true,i will not believe it until i really am there and touch it for real. No long stories for tonight,i have a 6.15 flight out of NYC (I live in NY) on thursday AM.Flying into pittsburgh PA to go get my SHELBY.Approx. 400 mile journey home and it will be a long day but i imagine worth every second of it. My story and pics to follow if i can figure it all out on how to post photos.All i can say is thanks to shelby dude for all his great help because without him i would still be waiting with a lousy dealership in my area with false promises and big money as a deposit and no car until who knows when. Oh yes also,thanks to all you members GRABBER,CRISPY23,SVTKEITH,COBRACRAZY etc etc etc etc,none of you guys really know me as i do not post really i just look and listen but a big shout out to all you members for all your help through the years,without this site i would not have survived the wait and might have purchased a car for more then i really could have or should have spent so again a big thanks to each and every one of you and maybe more of my story to come and definetly photos and stories of my 400 mile ride home. wow,just thinking about looking over that blue hood with nothing but clear skies and open road and heading home.

Thanks to all for all your knowledge and help, Larry NY What a SWEET RIDE!!!! You even got the fastest color! You are going to love every second of that drive home in your new Shelby. This car is extremely comfortable riding in. Just be careful with watching for the patrol cars. This thing feels like you are only doing 60 at a 100 MPH! I'm so excited for you that you were finally able to get hooked up with a dealer that was able to get you car and order it exactly the way you wanted it. Thank you Jim for getting Larry taken care of. Larry, we wants LOTS AND LOTS of pics as soon as you get back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabber Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Larry, Your car is beautiful. WOW, I love the stripe color with that blue. Sweet indeed. I know how you had some deals fall thru from our early PM'ing and I have seen you lurking all these months. When you get your car home please post lots of photos and lets chat about your new ride. Have a safe ride home. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Congratulations Montego! Your car looks great. As ShelbyDude said, you will definitely need to watch the speed limit as this car really does not feel as fast as it is. Glad to see that your search for a car ended up with a positive result.

165MPHGT500 Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Larry, ShelbyDude's right about the fastest color. I imagine I'm a little biased. 8000 SMiles and still can't keep my foot out of it . . . and don't want to. Drive fast, drive safe . . .
