Mustang Gary

He's wanted a new Mustang ever since he sold his Mach 1 to pay for our wedding (and no I did not ask him to do that, if anything I tried to talk him out of it). We have to roll our windows down any time we pass one on the street so we can all hear the sound of the engine revving. Cali has learned to spot a Mustang 20 miles away. He's owned 2 mustangs since then, but they were not anything special. He sold one of them, again because of me. I could not drive stick. I am quite possibly the worst stick shift driver ever.

A while ago he heard a whisper about a new Shelby coming out. He's been looking online and stopping at dealers for months, trying to find some information about it. he keeps showing me the same movie clip of its test drive. No one ever knew anything, and then, this past week, they're suddenly all over the place.

Well, not exactly. Dealers are only getting a few cars each. One dealer has 4 of their 5 cars sold already and they aren't even in yet. Another dealer sold theirs to some jerk in California. Many dealers are selling them on Ebay. The minimum seems to be $25,000 above sticker price. I have never paid sticker price for a car. These people are willing to pay 50% above sticker. That is insane.

I'm kind of glad they're are only 1 or 2 cars around. He's very persuasive and I'm easy going. It probably wouldn't be too hard for him to convince me to spend my first two years paychecks on a car for him.
