I highjacked this from another forum. Pretty interesting read.

Friggin ridiculous... But I reckon that supply and demand do have a little say in things...

I said some time ago that I would NEVER own a vehicle with Shelby's name attatched due to the fiasco with the SAAC. This is exhibit numero uno. However, when the Boss 302 reappears in 2011 I WILL have one of those as I have decided not to get the Taurus SHO.

My car may have his name on it, But it was never at his shop thank god. Nor was it supposed to have his name when I had originally planned to get it.
What is more sad is that Amy B. (his right hand B!@+<#!) is one of many who are sucking more and more out of the buying public. Carroll does not run the show anymore. And he hasn't for a LONG time. <br>
I can get a hood easily, And it won't be 18K let alone $1800.

Those asshole's also got hell bent because of the KR muffler that could be bought over the counter. When advertised as a "KR muffler" they contacted all site's that listed them as a "KR" part, Putting a stop ship on all of them. And what was a fairly affordable muffler (like there is an affordable muffler set for an 05+ mustang), All of a sudden you had to mortage the hosue for a set.

"it's not a KR muffler if it does not have the front half of OUR exhaust system" Give me a fucking break.


My semi-rant is over.


Tag-Doug is it.

1965 Galaxie 500
2007 Shelby GT500
2004 Marauder
1994 Aerostar

No documentation at this point, just a "I saw the paperwork that the other guy has".

Whatever......I'll never own some POS big $$$ hype car as long as I live.

No rag intended on you Will. I knew the story about the GT500. I can only hope that they don't ruin the Boss 302 with all this nonsense. That is gonna be one sweet mamajama.
