Watch out for people snapping pictures of the car while driving; it's big issue and it's dangerous They are idiots and should be shot. That will be interesting as the people here might be different than in SoCal. When I owned my Ferrari in SoCal, I didn't have any issues with people getting...

Do you own research and be comfortable with your decision. There are a lot of places to see the cars for sale. That car Shelby mentioned sounds like a fair deal and he has a great reputation here and he stands behind his cars. There are a lot of well cared for cars with more that 10K miles...

Thanks for the offer, but I prefer black. All the different colours are nice and to each his own, but for me black is a little more sinister. I just placed one of my cars up for sale and I have to wait for that to sell first. Thanks, again.

So far nothing here I can't deal with. Even if it required two people to open the clamshell, there doesn't look like a need get in there, other than routine maintenance. If need be, there's the wife.

Obviously I am not familiar with GT forums. Different from Porsche forum, where non club members are aplenty but not members of any PC.

Steve, is there a club for GT owners, or do you do clubs? Presently I am a PCNA with many members, but it looks like in the future there is just the two of us.

I am going to add one more item for inspection and that is: Flood damage?

Definitely all in, just want to know all idiosyncrasies so I am not surprised. I have a bunch of time before I purchase because I have to sell one car to get the GT.

I was watching a video on someone's review of the FGT and he mentions getting into reverse requires both hands. Was or is this common to all FGTs? There were some issues that I can deal with, such as the rear visibility and if you're a certain height, closing the door requires cranking your...

Its a nice place. Use to go by the shop on my way to some of the better restaurants in SoCal. I would look in the window if I was walking and they always had something interesting to see.

Hopefully in the garage, everything else - out

Sound advice. Putting up a car first, before I make the purchase. Did buy a nice FGT poster, that now resides in the garage. Its like buying the buttons for a coat before getting the coat. Sorry if this doesn't sound right but when translating from another language something always gets lost...

Gee, thanks for that helpful check list. I was going to get a check list going in the next few weeks, so thats just perfect, mine might not have covered everything I needed to have on a new to me type vehicle.

I am limited to 10K because more 10K cars have perfect minus rock chips, bodies, after that it gets harder to find a perfect condition vehicle At first, I am hoping to be able to enter car shows and besides, I am rather anal in regards to interior and exterior condition. Start with a perfect...

How will I know if I've gotten a good deal or not? I will be looking at vehicles that have 10K or less mileage, but not ultra low. For instance, vehicles that are at 10k then its going to be so much, and if its 6k then its this much.

I bring my cleaning stuff with me if I am in a vehicle with enough space for luggage and cleaning stuff. Not sure if Ford GT paint is soft or hard. Considering if I am buying black, once I have perfected the paint, then I want to keep it that way, so dry washing is out, if the paint is soft.

If I wash at my destination, I bring my equipment with me, but I suspect I will be like texas mongrel, wait till I get back home, because space is at a premium in these cars and having enough clean underwear is more important.

I love it in my Audi going from LA to ID and getting 54mpg, and much more comfortable for days of driving. My MC40 didn't come with CC but since I don't drive it great distances since the move, I don't miss it. The same goes for the P car, they didn't have it in the '70s. I just shipped that...

Would you have appreciated cruise control?

I bet you never got those reactions driving the P car. With my P car I do get attention on occasion, but I think it's the colour.
