Wanted to express my gratitude

[Vince H]

GT Ladies & Gentlemen,

I just wanted to thank all of you for the awesome info on the site. I’ve been using the search function for the last few weeks and reading a bunch of great threads regarding the GT. By far I have learned more on this site than I even thought was out there. Any ways, I just wanted to thank you for sharing this information for all to see. I appreciate the knowledge. New 2006 Ford GT owner and proud of it!

Respectfully,

VH

I've only put about 200 miles on her but I've quickly realized that there is no hurry when you're traveling in your dream car. Enjoying the ride.

I learned a lot about the GT by coming hear almost a year before I finally landed my car. I hit the road running

I turned 1000 of my own miles on mine on Saturday since I got it in October (including the Nov-April winter downtime). I think some will think I've already ruined it

P.S. Pictures are almost mandatory here Tell us more about your toy!!!

VH, welcome to a great, great club.
Now...how about meeting me at Cars and Coffee this Saturday in Irvine??

VH,

We try to make this an informative site as all of us owners are passionate about the CAR.
You have definately done it right by searching through all the past posts. There is a wealth of knowledge on almost any conseivable topic.

Glad you made the plunge to see for yourself how amazing this car really is.

In southern California, Kendall is probably closest if you need experienced work done or Rich and Dennis are FGT mechanical gurus in Detroit and Torrie can get you all the parts you might need. All are regular contributors on this forum. Attend our rally in New Orleans (with or without your car) to meet them and other owners. You will be hooked.

Enjoy my friend....

if you thought it was fun and informative reading through the forum wait till you actually make it to one of the rally's! perhaps the upcoming one in new orleans. look at some of the past threads regarding the previous rally's.

 

[Vince H]

A rally sounds like a blast thanks for the invite. New Orleans sounds awesome but I will have to do some rearranging in my schedule before an event such as that. I will keep an anxious eye out for when I can attend one. Sooner than later my gut tells me.

Some of you wanted the specs on my girl. She's a 2006 FGT White w/Blue stripes, 4000 miles. No upgrades done. I realize that is one of the more common color combo's but to me it's one of a kind and the exact color I wanted. There was also a Tungsten which was beautiful but the white was the one for me. I purchased her from Marv Rose in Fresno. Great guy who was patient and answered all my questions and concerns. I am getting the clear film/bra installation right now and I have just purchased the mandatory "hot buttons" from Exoticare. I'm also thinking the billet vents are something I should look into replacing before I regret it. The film, detailing (Pro Mobile Auto), hot buttons and billet vents are all information I gained from reading this site. I realize I'm repeating myself but it is very much appreciated.

I too feel much the same as you, the White/Blue was the only color I wanted. The "hot buttons" should have come with the car from the factory, alas, it's an easy fix!!! You're doing the right thing by putting the film on, that way you can drive the car the way it was meant to be driven. You might also want to look into the short shift kit, it's a great improvement. The most important thing that you can do, is get in it and take it for a drive, it's the best reward ownership has!!!!

 

[Vince H]

Thanks for the welcome everyone. Much appreciated.

VH, welcome to a great, great club.
Now...how about meeting me at Cars and Coffee this Saturday in Irvine??

KJRGT,

Wow, thanks for the invite. I have family coming in from back East (Pittsburgh / My home town. Go Steelers!) and will be doing all the So. Cal tourist attractions for the next 10 days. It would be awesome if we could set this up after. Cool of you to reach out.

VH

By the way I'm an I.E. guy. Don't hold it against me too much.

 

[KJRGT]

Vince,
Cars and Coffee is every Saturday morning, so we will get there in September for sure. We'll round up the gang.
In fact, we will probably pull together a one or two day drive in late September or October for all the SoCal guys and gals.
By I.E. do you mean Inland Empire?? No issue here pal..we are an equal-location organization!
Enjoy your time with the family.

KJRGT,

Yes, sir. My folks moved me from Pittburgh, Pa. to Riverside in 1980 and I have never left. Hot as heck and smog, but I'm an hour away from everything. Works for me.
