Took it to a show in Claremont NH, benefiting the Claremont Senior Center.


On the way to the show, I was mid-pack in a 13-Mustang convoy





At the show, yes, my car is flanked by 2 cars with aaaaalmost the same plate, both being 2008 Shelby GT500s, both white with blue stripes, both NH cars































































Some after-show pics:

I took mine to a touchless laser car was today too. Had to get particle debris off of her after the 2 days of insane storms. I live not far from a sawmill and they shed a lot of sh*t. I'll be glad to be out of here next year.

Nice pictures Gabe. In your first set of pictures was that a Honda roadster with a Corvette LS2 in it? That probably moves along well. Thanks for posting those. Well early this morning I was out in the garage and saw this nice Mustang GT sitting there and just had to take it out for a nice morning cruise. I kept it under 80 though. It is Labor day weekend and the cops are on patrol. Especially for red Mustangs. Take care guys.........

Yup, it sure was ... Honda S2000 roadster, no longer powered by the 240-hp little 4-banger ...

Replaced rotors and pads yesterday, huge improvement. Old rotors were trashed. Also painted the rear calipers to match the fronts, and the red pads really look good against the black calipers.

Now it just needs a proper wash.

Just ordered a new Ford stock replacement chin splitter from CJ Pony for the GF's Shelby for only $139.99 .... replacing the original piece which has hit a few things over the years, and some big things before she even bought the car ...

Stoked with the crazy-low price on a new OEM replacement!

This morning I finally installed a passenger-side catch can on the girlfriend's car, then flipped it around and buffed out some scratches off the rear bumper.
Apparently she told me about the scratches some time ago, but you know how us guys listen ... I saw them at a recent car show and was shocked how huge they were ... thankfully she missed the stripes and only got the white paint itself ...

And she's at a hair appointment and has no idea I did these things

Very nice! I wish my husband was more into the detailing - but I think he will wash her tonight and I will detail and she'll be set for the weekend!
