Boy have the tables turned

I love it. When the Ford GT first came out, dealers didn't even want to look at you unless you were willing to pay 300K. Now look how the attitude has change.

Sure now they want to be fair...I'd like to just shoot them and be done with it. Where was fair when they first came out?

You can't blame Ford for people wanting to pay 3 times of what's GT worth. Jay Leno paid like $450,000 for his GT.

Actually, from what I heard, he really didn't pay for his GT. Ford gave it to him for his work as a guest speaker at one of their dealer meeting in Las Vegas, I believe.
