Shelby Sunday

      For us Mustang people who post on Twitter, this is “Shelby Sunday”.  We always see plenty of great Shelby photos appearing on these days. I’m one of those people, always the best ones from my files will get posted, of the many different types, almost every day.

     As far as Mustangs go, I have owned many through the years.  A lot of high performance models, but only one Shelby.  The red 2007 Shelby GT 500 pictured below, was my pride and joy for six years. During that time, I only put about 12,000 miles on it. That will probably end up being the greatest car I will ever own.

Ghosts and Angels

     Through our lives, most of us have the feeling that we are being in the presents of ghosts or angels at one time or another. For me, those ghosts are of the friends I have lost over the years, and the angels are of some very special loved ones who have passed away.

     Maybe it’s when I’m working on a car in my garage, and I can imagine the ghost of an old car buddy watching over my shoulder, and making sure I’m getting it done the right way.  Or, maybe giving me a hard time because I’m doing it wrong.  

     Sometimes it’s an angel along for the ride when we are on a drive, reminding us to watch what we’re doing, and making us think about driving as safe as we can.

Dream Car

      With everything happening in the world the last couple years, and especially the last couple weeks, do we still have such a thing as a “ dream car “?  New car prices going through the roof, gas prices going up every day, and availability in question for many models, do we even dare to dream? 

     For those of us who have been life-long “car guys” , and especially the high performance enthusiasts like me, I think we will always have a dream car somewhere in the back of our mind.  Even if it seems so very far out of our reach, it is still something we can dream about.

    My aspirations have mostly centered around the top performance Mustangs of the times, so for now, that would be the current Shelby GT 500 models.  No matter what is happening in the world, we can still have our dreams.
