Chris gets the TR! (the Mustang) when he turns 16. It's kind of like his car in waiting.

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to show him the post responses.

Here's a vid from this monumental occasion...



Jed's got some footage too.

I'll throw this up in the 05-09 general thread since most know about Chris.

Awesome vid. Can't believe he's grown so much. When I saw the first pic I was like Wow. Time flies man.

so I'm thinking about getting one of these...anyone here had one? Anything I should be one the lookout for. The only two things I dont like about the car are the gauges and the seats...gauges look a bit cluttered, and the seats are quite busy...but those can be changed

Took two of them for test drives before I bought my '06 vert. As much as I wanted one, the interior felt waaaay too cramped for a guy my size (6'2"/250).

The major plus was the price - I found a couple that had around 50K miles for about $12K. That ain't bad for a 4V!

Even saw a yellow '04 Mach today while Xmas shopping and they still make me

hahaha, I'm screwed then! I'm 6'4, 325 or so

I figure, I've always wanted one...I can certaintly manipulate the seat brackets if I have to, and I'm not going to feel small driving anything, so wtf?

Is it just me or does Jimmy Football from the Bud Light commercials look more than a little like Leo?

Chris didnt do bad.He looked nervous at first,but once he relaxed looks like he got it down pretty quick....Next thing you'll know he will making his own POTR videos

Jed your a brave man!!! Were you wearing an Adult diaper ?

Ray the shelby looks great!

Luis what happened to the car?

Jeff and David I know the feeling being 6"2 250 doesnt help in the new edge I always wanted a 03 zinc yellow Mach 1 but the S197 stole my heart and then broke it
But I still want more like the petite little **** you bang out when your young

Were's Koji?
LEo1 how you liking the new place?

He sure has grown! I don't really notice since I see him everyday, but looking back at pictures, you can see it. He's also eating 3x as much too.

If you fit good in it, drives good, then go for it!

Looks great Ray!

What percentage tint did you go with?

I'm happy you don't have the fishbowl effect anymore. Now start working on the wheels.

He's already starting out in the POTR footsteps! Already has one (accidental) burnout and a few chirp launches under his belt.

Looks great Ray. Like Bill said now time change the wheels. Just throwing this out there but have you considered getting the stripes painted? I know it costs money but hey your a Shelby owner.

It's nice. A lot smaller but okay. Only real complaints are not having a garage and only being able to grill with a propane BBQ.

Good point Leo has.. get the stripes painted and get the whole car wet sanded.

Still waiting for the House Warming party invite.
