Picture Perfect

    Over the years, I've owned many great cars, most of them good performance cars, and three of them were exceptional performers. But, only one was a Shelby Mustang. I owned my 2007 Shelby GT 500 for six years, but only put 12,000 miles on it during that time. It sat covered in the garage most of the time, always perfectly clean and detailed, and ready for the next car show. Always Picture Perfect.

     During those six years, I had it in many car shows, and it won plenty of awards at those shows.  It always attracted a lot of attention, and I enjoyed showing it and answering plenty of questions.  I've always enjoyed driving all of my cars, but the Shelby was a collectors item, and I felt I should try to keep the miles down on that one. That was the main reason I finally sold it after six years, I like driving my performance cars.

     Now, I kind of wish I could own a new Shelby GT 500. But the new ones cost twice as much as my 2007 model, and gas prices are over twice as much as they were back then. I don't think another one is in my future.
