New from San Jose, CA

Hello. I just bought a new '12 GT about a month ago. To me, the front fascia of the '10-'12 is like the '69, so I chose it over the '13. It's just a personal preference. I have an '08 GT too. I refused to trade it in because I just love it. They are both stock. When I have time and money ( isn't time = money?), I will mod the '08.

Can you please help me attach pictures?
OK. I'm so noob!!! I reduced the picture file size. Now, it works.

Hi Bill!!! Yeah, I want to love the new looks of the '13, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to it. In time, I think I'll like it. Ahhh, yes, Northern California, Bay Area. Yes, I love it here. Mild weather most times. You been here before? Drive your Mustang over, got a place for you. Don't mind the smaller homes here though.

Thanks for the invite Batoboy. Could you imagine the gas bill i would have ? Ouch ! I just can't get over how beautiful it is over there......I'd live around there of I could.
The last time I was there in 2010, I stayed at the Ritz on **** Hill, rented a Corvette Convertible( only conv.available ) and went on one of favorite drives..... down to the Embarcadero, across the Golden Gate, stopped in Eureka for lunch, off to my favorite winery in Napa( Domaine Chandon ) and then went and attacked the roads on the way to Bodega Bay to watch the sun set in the Pacific.
I know I don't need to tell you how beautiful that was for my wife and I .

Anyways, take care of yourself Batoboy and enjoy the heck out of your cars, they look fantastic.

Hi Bill,
You sure do know how to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. I live about an hour from SF, yet I've never gone to most of those places you visited. Something wrong with me? <grin>

Thanks for the compliments. After I saw your car, I just thought why da heck didn't I just get me a GT500. Yours look really awesome!!! The '13 will be $5000 more. The target price keeps moving higher and higher for me!

Hi Max! Yah, I have hard time getting used to the GT500 front fascia. I really feel it belongs on actual GT500! I guess I'm old fashion. Went to a dealership and saw '12 and '13 parked next to each other. I think designer should've kept the front fascia alone but add the heat extractors and new tail lights. I know I'll get over it. In time, I'll be preaching how nice the '13's look.

BTW, the '13 Boss is advertised here for about $50,000. Another $10,000 and get the GT500!!!
