We don't have a garage so he was trying to make it to a friend that has a shop, but he obviously drove it for too long.

I put it on craigslist this morning as a parts car and we sold it already.

That is cool but I think the different colors would drive me crazy.

Pretty sweet Lee. I think that has been a feature of the GT500's since My Color. I know on my GT with the My Color you don't have that option. IDK about the '10+ GT's.

I know if I had that option thats how I would have it set. I usually keep mine around a vista blue color.

I see. I was thinking maybe it froze and cracked. Freezing doesn't always just push out the freeze plugs.

Seems like its got a lot more functions than my 08's did. Its got preset colors, then presets you can customize colors, then the halos around the gauges are adjustable and on or off, its actually a bit too much stuff. Especially for me when you consider that you could count on your hands the times I actually drove it at night where they would be on.

Also just discovered that the red SVT in the middle of the tach is a programmable shift light.

No, it finally turned really nice, 73 degrees today. Took it out yesterday for a spin (see IV) and this morning. Haven't taken any more pics. The places I like are all still saturated.

I really really need an accessible vehicle with 4 doors for clients. I'm always having togoin separate cars or put them in the Raptor to view the homes.

The Raptor would be relegated to truck duty only.

Oh yeah I forgot about the halos, my gf yelled at me for playing with them on the '10 we rented in Florida last year while I was driving. I only want over the yellow twice.

But why buy one car when you can have two that will do the same job.

Got the cover out of the trunk and tried it on the other day. Its really nice, love the way it fits. Had a hell of a time getting the little sleeve that fits over the antenna undone, it decreases in radius and was turned inside out.

Front on the hood..

She's red candy with the factory 20s. If it weren't so cheap I'd have never done it, but I wanted one back in 89 when I was 17 and test drove one and I needed a four door car so it was perfect. Feels as fast as Seven was when she was stock.

Catback, CAI, and a tune and theyre getting 90 more hp and 12 second 1/4s.

But I'm not doing that.
