The customer we had looking at the GT backed out on his deal. We decided to put it in several papers and on the website so I had to take it to a local picturesque setting as I am the photo guy here .

AMAZING. even though it was just a mile and a half there and 2 and a half miles back, the performance is unbelievable. 0-60 in just a little over 3 seconds. I haven't stopped smiling since.

Hey Ed, isn't the power of that car just INCREDIBLE. The Dealer Principle took the GT out of our showroom (he's keeping it), as he wanted to take it for a spin. I told him to leave it out, as I wanted to drive it again. WOW!!!!. That car is the easiest 200mph car to drive. Driving that car is just surreal!!! Just like Andy says, doesn't our job have some WONDERFUL perks, ?

Awesome, the blue with white stripes is by far my favorite color for the Ford GT.

I could not believe I was driving a Ford. The car is amazing.

The only problem I had was no cup holder when I went thru the Taco Bell for lunch, had to balance the dring on the seat between a couple mucho grande burritos. Lucky the seat has the drain holes for the grease.

We just got ours at the store I work at, didn't get to drive it, but sitting in the driver seat was plenty awesome!! No burritos though.

Same color scheme too!

That's ok though, I only spilled a little soda on the door but it came right off after I went thru the car wash. Those brushes do wonders.

Matt, whatever you have to do (beg, plead, bribe), you HAVE TO drive that car, or at the very least take a ride in it! I have been in both new Lamborghini's and those 2 cars pale in comparison to the GT. For an american company to make a car like that is just amazing.

I have an idea for you. Just tell your boss you have some embarising photos of him, and in exchange for being able to drive the GT, just once, you won't post the pics on the internet . Trust me, that car is that good to do to someone.
