Maybe he is racking up some more indoor mileage on that turd with his car cover on. I don't know about you guys but I'd kinda like to see how he does it.

Re: German quality
Saw a 2009 Cayman outside my apt; the rear spoiler was off center & had rubbed on edge of hatch, creating rust, bubbles, flaking.
Looked inside; seats were shiny from Office Depot qaulity chair leather.
Meanwhile a 30yr old BMW I had, had spoiler rub on fender for years and never got thru primer....
I think todays German "quality" is a misnomer...all the lasers, microns of paint bs still isnt as good as ole Hans who would put on a thick layer after Beer lunch

Your first loss is your best loss.

Just a thought, who in their right mind would go to a doctor with the name of Harms? Kind of like the dentist up here who's last name is Hurt?

DBK: Hmmm. Didn't think of that. That would work. Yeah, that would work.
How depressing is that visual. sitting in a covered FGT on a huge treadmill racking up 6000 miles going nowhere.
How many guys would sign up for that program????? Oh, forgot. One.

My car (#421)....lots of times in rain, yep it's been outside, always uncovered, been "shunted" by a rogue mechanic, oil pump pulley blew up, couple of small dings and paint chips on it, been on the track 50 plus times, drove through a locust and grasshopper swarm in AZ, air bag emblem is funky...and guess what....I love the car even more than the day I bought it. In fact I got a 2nd one. It is way more solid and reliable than my Ferrari. Having said that, Ford GT ownership is not for everyone. Best of luck with the sale. PM me your asking price...Hmm, a no stripe yellow GT sounds interesting.

2 Orthopaedists I know...Dr. Larry Bone, Dr. Rodney Plaster. There apparently is a Dr. Doctor running around somewhere also.

Boost is an addiction...
I have had a lot of different cars... Definitely been there and done that with the vipers. In fact, while I was twin turboing vipers and the FGT first came out I even said there was no way I would pay that much for a "retro" "ford" :biggrin
Then Bigs took me for a ride in his and that was it haha
Everyone is right. Ford gt ownership is not for everyone. They don't have power seats, heated and air-conditioned seats, traction control, blah blah but there is no other car that I would pick if I could have just ONE.
I know people who would rather have a prius and "go green". A lawyer friend of mine has a model t that he wouldn't trade for a veyron.
Some people just have no sense :banana
If byeEnzo doesn't buy a yellow no stripe Im interested in that piece of junk....
Everytime after driving something else and getting back in the GT it just feels like home. I agree with DBK, quit complaining about it and buy something else :cheers
When I simply saw the origional "Super Bowl" commercial showing a GT 'dirt tracking' around corners on blacktop, THAT was pretty much 'it' for me. But, when I walked into the showroom and that blue/white grinned its GT grin at me and said, "Hello, Larry" - THAT was totally & completely 'all she wrote'. I didn't NEED to drive it or go for a ride in it. The car was sold before the salesman opened his mouth. I'm just glad HE didn't know that, or it woulda cost me an additional $20K. :willy:willy:willy

Went to dental school at Pitt, class ahead of me had a student with last name Payne. Not Good
Class behind my at the University of Washington had Anita Fok. (yes exactly how you think it is pronounced.)
Over the intercom......"Attention please, Anita Fok, we have an emergency, Anita Fok in D4....It is an emergency!"
