Bumping this for all the new additions as myself, plus Shelby07 is worth the bump all by itself.

The Korean- I am half Korean, if someone does not know me by my name (Kevin), the next step in the recongnition process is "you know...the Korean".

Last August we bought a used 2003 T-bird. On a road trip to Texas in December, we stopped at a little hotel in Tulia, TX. - median income about $15K year. During the night the local police noticed the car, thought it was out of place in a cheesy hotel and ran a check on the VIN. Turns out that the car had been reported stolen before we bought it. It was a mistake, but Ford had sold the car to a local dealer who sold it to us.... can you see where this is going???

As part of the "settlement" and me agreeing not to sue Ford (not that I would for a mistake, but they started jacking us around with the reimbursement check for our expenses and pissed me off royally) I negotiated a new 2007 Shelby Mustang (485+HP 485 ft lbs torque at about 2500 rpm) at a few hundred below dealer cost when they start producing them. So now I am waiting with baited breath for the damn things to be released.

So that's it . Shelby07! I'll post a picture as my avitar here soon.
