SHORT MYSTERY!
I did Not Drive My Car to Work Yesterday so it was Home in the Wifes Care. I felt The Need For Speed After Dinner and Opened the Car Door. All over the Front Seats were Amber Plastic Pieces That Looked Like a Turn Signal Lens. So My Mind races an I think the car was driven and the Front Turn Signal Lens was Busted and Then Put in the car. I go Look Up Front and Everthing is ok. All kind of Scenarios Go through my mind. Upon Closer Investigation I discover the Head of a Disposable Lighter. The Darn Thing Exploded at Some Point during the day. No Damage Found so far! I guess the Goofy Thing Could have caught Fire or Gone off During Drive! Lesson Do Not Leave Lighter in Car!

Ah, Back in the Day! 8 Pages of Well Wishers for The New Car! 
My 07 Had it's 18th Birthday in June and on July 13th, My 18th Year of Ownership! I had it Smogged The Other Day Which We Have To Do Every 2 Years. I racked Up an Average of 100 Miles a Year. Mostly Due to Having To Complete a Drive Cycle To Get all Monitors Online as The Battery Goes Dead at Some Point if I Don't Run it Often Enough. Still Sitting in The 34K Area. Seriously on Paper It's Time To Let Go Unless I Can Start Enjoying it More Often. Awful Expensive to Register & Insure Here in California!
Once The Car Goes I Will Be Done Here as I Would Not Feel at Home as a Mustangless Admin/ Member. Closest Thing To Another Mustang Would Be My 73 Cougar Vert. It Has Been Non Operable Due to Transmission Faliure For About as Long as I Have Had Shelby. Got a Rebuilt Trans For It Just Not Healthy Enough To Install By Myself. Anyhoo Starting To Think Along The Lines Of Selling The Shelby.
Anyhoo, Just Thinking Out Loud!

Now that's a tough decision. It's so hard to sell a car that you have had so long. I still have sad feelings about selling my own 2007 GT/CS but it helps having another Mustang in the garage. Not having one at all would be really strange. I hope you get yours out more often. So many wonderful drives to take in CA.
