GearV8Head Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hey guys, let me introduce myself. My name is Matthias (or just Matt to keep it simple) and i was originally born and raised in Germany. I just moved to the beautiful upstate of South Carolina about 1 1/2 Years ago due to a Job Oppurtinity my Company offered me to lead the Expansion of our Company to the North American Market. I am currently working as a Plant Manager for a Automotive Supplier focused on High Temperature Solutions for Exhaust Components. Mainly producing Parts for BMW´s X3 and X5 since their biggest Plant is here in Spartanburg,SC. New Customers like GM, Caterpillar and Chrysler already signed Contracts with us as well. However, even though i am German and should like BMW, Audi etc. (at least thats what everybody is saying but i couldnt care less) i ALWAYS had a soft spot for American Muscle Cars. I had a 94 Mustang GT with the good ´ol 5.0 V8 in prestine Showroom floor Condition and 20k miles on it back in Germany so i am not new to the Mustang world, but pretty new to the Shelby world. I just purchased a Bone Stock 2010 Shelby GT500 for $35K with exactly 20k Miles on it a little bit more than a month ago and enjoy every second with it !! I bought it from a Dealer in Vermont since it was such a great Deal and suffered the longest 1 1/2 Weeks in my Life waiting on my dream Car getting delivered while it was crossing around 1,000 Miles on a Trailer. Long Story short, the first time i cranked her up it was worth every penny and the pain of waiting. I never drove such a brutal Car before and even the wife loves it and buys me Parts .....gotta love that !! I know you guys like pictures so see below and tell me what you think..... Thanks !
