As many of you have heard me say “Everytime I drive my New GT I learn something new”. Well yesterday was no different as I traveled to The Car Culture Christmas Show in Houston. As everyone knows the GT is very close especially when your carrying Christmas presents with your wife to a show as you get her situated in the GT then start packing around her packages, I pad, cell phones, remote charger and camera. I backed out of my building and pulled up in front then had to go back in the man cave, pull the rear door down, turn off the lights,set the alarm and lock the door and off we went to Houston. Stay with me now! Upon arriving at the we were placed as posted pictures shown in another post “Center Stage” with David Rowan’s new Carbon Fiber lightweight GT.
When I got out of the GT after parking in a very difficult spot I helped Sue out with all the packages and gear and turned the engine off. When I started looking for the GT keys in my pocket, in both seats and in front of themI realized I DID HAVE THEM ON ME OR IN THE GT!!!!! I got back in the GT and hit the starter and NOTHING HAPPENED! OH Shit! How did I get there without the keys crossed my mind! Now What? Where were they? Where did I leave them and again how did the GT let me drive 31 miles without having the keys?
At that moment I realized I had to go back to my building and find the keys and return to Houston as I nor anyone else could move my GT from its position. A close friend showed up and said “here’s my keys, you can use my car to go back and find them”. When I go to my Building 40 minutes later there they were next to my front door on a display case glowing in the dark and asking “Why Did You Leave Me, You Dumb Ass”. Back to the show in 40 minutes and everything was fine and I learned another fact about the New GT! As I arrived back at the show David and Roz met me and Roz, in her English accent said “Tomy you are a TWIT” , must be an English expression! I’ve been called worse, even by my wife Sue!
If this has happened to you never admit it and remember it CAN HAPPEN and did with no warning, buzzer or read out appearing! Hope this helps my friends out in future ownership adventures ahead. As I approach another trip around the Sun this next I’m preparing for my next adventure in my Girl #H045.
