Conversation Between RetroGT2006 and meenstang

thanks man! yeah i plan on sticking to it, i know itll be a rough path.. but ill get through it

Glad to hear you are doing well, and I think you are making a wise move by using the money toward yourself, instead of the car. By the way, we got another snow Saturday. It was 68 degress Thur., cooled down to 40's Friday, and rained, then snowed Saturday. Got about 2 or 3 inches. So, will have to wait on another good rain, or a couple to wash the salt off the roads again. Armpit buddy, I'm telling you it is. Well, sounds like you have a plan, and a good one at that. I have a couple of friends who are pharmacists, and also a couple in pharmaceutical sells. They're is good money in it, so stick with your plan.

I've been doing pretty good, stangs doing great.. driving it everyday(Fl=good weather) lol and just been studying hard in school and working.. got a new job so i start 2morrow, pretty happy.. as for the last time i talked to you, i think you knew about the supercharger i wanted.. well i decided to put it off till later years.. i took the money, paid off the remained of my 1500$ laptop, bought a 42in LCD HDTV, and the rest is going to be saved for me to move out.. I realized that if im still going to stick to becoming a Pharmacist like planned, ill have to move because theres only 3 pharmacy schools here in florida.. and all of them are over an hour and a half away.. all the way up to like 5 hours.. so the money is going to be well spent, gotta do what i have to do now instead of making my car faster. lol..

I've hanging in there, how about you? Been waiting on the weather to break so I could take a ride. Finally got to yesterday. It rained really hard Tue., & Wed. So, it washed the salt and gravel off the roads. Felt good to get it out. Supposed to rain, and turn to snow tonight though. I told you this is the armpit of the country when it comes to weather. Ha! Good to hear from you.

how have you been man?

Yeah dude, that guys shelby Gt is looking badass- minus the missing mirrors.. lol jk.. but yeah we got those clean roads and decent weather. Ive been spoiled 18 years out of my 19 yrs of life! Hmm, but def take pics with them new rims on ur stang if u get the chance.

This guy that owns this Shelby is a fanatic about having his things done a certain way. He ordered the Razors, and we all thought they looked great on the car. I think he rode the car twice with them on it. Of course that was before the weather got bad up here. Well, I've been debating on what wheels I was going to order for my car. I finally got some pics of it from the previous owner with the FR500's on it, and I showed them to him. So, while I have been deciding if I was going to order me a set, and what size I would order, he orders him a set, and a set of NITTO's too. I told him I was probably going to order me a set of NITTO 555's, and he researched them, and decided he liked what he read. He's picky, but man I'm telling you, everything he has ever fixed up has been very tastefully done. Usually, once he gets to a point that there is nothing else he wants to do to a car, or bike, he sells them. By the way, I was in Florida the weekend after Christmas through New Years. The fam., and I went to Disney. Got spoiled to the 80 degree weather, and clean roads too. Came home to 5in. of snow, and when we left Fla. it was 78 degrees. lol... I ordered me a set of 18x10, 18x9 chrome FR500's, and NITTO 555's. Should be here this week some time. I don't know when I will be able to get the car out though. Too much salt on the roads up right now. I'll try to get wome pics of it in the garage, and post them.

Whats up Dale! I havent heard from you in soo long. I remember you talking about the Razors, but damn this guy is lucky, buys a shelby GT, and then rims/tires/exterrior mods, and a blower from whipple.. man. lol nice pics, n thanks!

Hey Retro, I finally got a few pics of my friends Shebly GT in his basement. He really didn't want me to take them though, because his mirrors are at the paint shop getting color matched to the car. I think I told you he had American Racing Shelby Razors on the car, but he has already taken them off. He ordered a set of 18x10, 18x9 chrome FR500's for it, and put them on it. Well, check it out. You'll see what your motor is going to look like with a Whipple on it, if that is the SC you decide on.

Dale

Yeah i remember you mentioning his car and he got the razors on them.. thats sweet cant wait to see.. but i heard the coolest news last night.. my friend.. his dad had a 07 350Z.. traded it last night for a 08 Shelby GT500 in red !! im goin after my sociology class 2day.. gonna take some pics.. and im aiming for a ride in it.. i dont know if he will 1 because its new, and two i heard like for the first 500 miles, the car is programed not to make ANY boost at all.. but yeah.. def will take a bunch of pics if i do go there today as planned ..

Yeah i think both blowers i cant go wrong with.. I also think that ive done really well in saving so far.. I mean yeah, its taking some time.. but i dont expect mommy and daddy to shell out all this cash for my car.. i mean yah i know kids that dont pay gas/car note/insurance/the mods they do to their cars.. but thats them.. for me.. i kinda find joy in working hard and long hours to get what i want..dad told me when i was buying the GT that its gonna be alot of hours at work and gas money etc.. but i didnt care.. ive always wanted it.. so now i have something to work towards..ooh, and it gives more meaning to each dollar.. atleast when im older, ill know the value of a dollar .. thats how i look at it..

As for your wheels.. ill check um out, after i get back from class.. ive gotta eat and head out.. but yeah.. i wouldnt get "Shelby" wheels.. i kind think thats wrong.. esp like those people that put Cobra badges all over their car.. when its a GT.. :/ and V6 people putting GT symbols on their v6.. it annoys me..
