God that car looks perfect. Also a good example of why white stripes are AWESOME on these cars, and it makes me feel justified in my want to redo my black stripes in white.

Congrats MBarrette10. Fantastic piece of machinery.

Probably somewhat painful though, having a grin from ear to ear 24-7.

Once again congratulations.

I'm impressed if you went from a Cobalt to a 13 GT500 and after 1100 miles still no scratches or dents.

Nice car by the way.

It was definitely painful the first days, but by now I think my face muscles have been conditioned more.

The car is absolutely amazing!! I've put about 1,100 miles on it the past two weeks which is probably 60/40 freeway/city. I can't find enough reasons to take it out and drive it. It pulls like a freight train and I can't seem to get enough of it!!
Here are some pictures I had taken right away. I'll have some other pics soon of the window tint I recently had done.
A big thanks to Matt at Ed Schmid Ford in Ferndale and to Deysha for all of the updates throughout the process!

It looked good before, but I think it looks a lot better with the darker windows.

Wooooooooooooooooow!!!
