ShelbyKR664 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well, the car is finally home in my garage. Man does my garage look good now. I just finished putting on the CF splitter the the dealer took off for shipping. This car is stunning in person. I am so fortunate to be in the position to buy a car like this. My family loves it and is very supportive of my Shelby habit. I can't wait to get her out to a few local and national shows and meet some fellow KR owners. I will eventually change my user name but for now I am Shelby3835. My name is Bill Hale. I live in Va Beach, VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8MS-01904 Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Welcome to the Silver KR club!! I'm not sure what I like more - the sound of the exhaust or the whine of the supercharger!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali_KR Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Congrats Bill, You'll absolutely love the KR. I've put 20k + miles on mine in 2.5 years, and I get a mischievous smile every time I fire up #552 Enjoy Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShelbyKR664 Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 That is the big debate for me. The car has 708 miles on it. Drive or not to drive???? I have put a few thousand road miles on my SGT and have not seen a big drop in value. I plan on keeping the car a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Congrats on your new purchase. You will love the KR! This car is a blast to drive. As far as our big debate is concerned, I definitely think that you should drive the car and enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyKR664 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I agree. CS hated to see people just "rubbing" on them. I think the KR will always be a above average desirable car. I am not a speculator so I don't have a profit motive, just a fun, life is short motive!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Carrolls Advice Like Carroll (and Tim) said....drive it...There is no joy in ownership with it sitting in the garage...well maybe there is, just NOT nearly as much fun...

I look at it this way. 30 years from now when I go to sale it or give it to one of my kids what memories am I going to have? The cross country trip, the track days,,,,, or the 30 years it sat in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShelbyKR664 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 All good points... I plan on driving it often. I am headed to Carlisle this weekend. I am taking my 66 K code though. 50 years anniv celebrate of the Hi-Po 289. I will wander over to the Team Shelby camp and check things out. I am sure there will be a KR or two there.
