No problem! And yeah, the nicer car you have, the more crappy people you have to wade through it seems... And they always want to low-ball the offer... Just not worth the headache in this case, IMO!


Yep, back in August. We needed a second winter vehicle (and sadly, I never drove the Mustang anyway), so it made more sense to get rid of it and get that winter vehicle... Ended up getting a 2018 Countryman All-4 S. We have a 2012 one as well... They are a ton of fun and the new ones are basically mini BMW's now (as far as the options and interior go, it still drives mostly like a Mini)... We ordered it back in June and got it in the middle of August!

I'll eventually get another Mustang, but financially, it just made sense right now for us... Plus, I still have my motorcycle for fun and going fast...

 

They're like driving a gokart. To me it's almost more fun throwing my little RSX around during my daily commute than it is to open my mustang up while out on weekend cruises. I bet that little civic is a hoot to drive around town.

 

I would liken that more to a Miata then any FWD compact. FWD was never intended for performance, it was just the cheapest and most efficient (profitable) way to get all weather/environment capable vehicles out there for auto manufacturers. People don't like RWD where it snows, and 4WD/AWD is always more expensive, and less fuel efficient.

FWD performance vehicles = trying to smash a square peg into a round hole.

 

The Type R will receive the same treatment and respect that the Mustang gets, my fellow Canadian.
I am thinking that will keep the R in good shape for a long time to come.

 

Quick snap with my new phone picking the kid up from school

 

Looking good! That is roughly the gap I like to maintain from the curb as well.

 

P.S. When was your last track day? I can still spot the deposit rings on your front rotors.

 

Yeah it's hard to tell in the pic but it's a curve that you have to pull into, I dont like to chance it with how low my front end is


I just replaced my pads and rotors a couple months ago, havent tracked it. I had some jackass pull out in front of me going 45 about 5-10 min before making it to the school, so might just be from that hard braking

 

Looking good bro!!

 

With those awesome looking wheels, I don't blame you one bit for parking a good distance away from curbs..

 

Thanks guys!

 

Sold my 2010 black GT and found this Race Red Boss. Miles of smiles!

 

Bad *** man! Any plans for the Boss?

 

 

Thanks! So far an oil separator and sound tube delete. Sunday she is going for a new set of shoes, Michelin Pilot Sport a/s 3 Plus. The Pirellis have plenty of tread but man do they spin easy even when dry. Half throttle in 2nd on dry pavement and their spinning. Need some traction for the cool wet Portland winter. I still have my set of Shelby wheels with Nittos for the summer. I also ordered a set of the QTP remote electric cutouts. I don't think they will be closed often. It sounds amazing without the baffles but may come in handy on long trips or if pulled over. It came with Shelby Axel backs but I can't really hear them due to he sweet sound of the side pipes. Someone already changed out the springs with Ford racing and I like the stance. I wouldn't want it too low anyway. Redlines are getting ordered soon for the hood. No more prop bar.

 

Nice car!!
Enjoy.

Nice.

 

Very nice Shelby GT.. However it should've been posted in the 2005-09 special editions and aftermarket Mustangs sub forums.. Just saying lol.

 

I apologize I just saw the section. When I posted I just saw it on the new post and didn’t see the subsection, sorry.

 

Congrats on your Race Red Boss.. Hope you'll enjoy all those miles of smiles for many awesome years to come



No worries, as you didn't see the subsection.. Very awesome Shelby GT never the less

 

what an upgrade!
