MO^ON^ABE Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Just wanted to introduce myself here and say I hope to learn a lot from this forum. I just picked up an '08 Shelby gt500 about 4 days ago and already love it. I have already read about the LCA and clutch issues with these cars but hope these have already been replaced. Lol. Bought the car from a dealer and I'm the second owner but it appears to already have upgrades. Forge star wheels,roush exhaust(not sure if it's the extreme or not cause I don't know the difference), but not sure what maintenance had been done because it appears the previous owner did not do the services at ford. That's why I'm here...to learn. I will say that I feel I have always been a "car fan", whether it be classics,muscle cars,imports,etc. To the delight of my wife I seem to change cars about every 2 years, while not on purpose it just seems to work out that way. That said I have owned imports,euro's,luxury,domestics alike. I do have a working knowledge of imports,euros and turbos but this is my first Mustang. I've never gotten into the import/domestic dick measuring contests because...well because I'm not in high school I guess. Even though my background is imports..when I saw this beauty sitting at a dealer, I couldn't pass it up! A chance to own a supercharged V8? Yes please! I'll be lurking around and hope to become a part of the community. Thanks Edited March 25, 2015 by MolanLabe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could ask and someone will point you in the right direction.... personally I follow the Shelby GT stuff so I may not be of any help. Good luck!

MO^ON^ABE Posted March 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Thanks for rolling out the welcome mat. Right now trying to read thru the FAQ's to find out how to post pics, so I don't have to ask that dreaded newbie question. I already have them hosted on a site but don't see an option to copy and paste the URL or the direct link. Maybe it's because I'm on my mobile.
