thats funny stuff. its really funny when im at the strip and the owners of the shelby's are missin gears and getting bad starts. It has to be embarrassing when they take off and miss a gear twice or screw up there take offs. I guess u think someone that owns a shelby would know how to drive it.

Now I apologize in advance if I have this wrong (and its certainly a possibility), but this mustang and video look pretty familar. Now that I look more, I'm pretty sure this is the same guy (original owner) as the video is listed under 'dgussin' and that was almost certainly the guy I remember from the thread as the original owner.
I seem to recall on another site where a guy talked about buying a GT500 from a guy who claimed it was 'slightly used, but never abused' kinda deal a few years ago. Even though there were a few 'question marks' over the purchase, the new owner did end up taking ownership of the car....only over the next few months he found more and more evidence that the car had been absolutely abused beyond any sort of level that most could imagine. The new owner ended up doing more and more searches through youtube and the like and found TONS of videos of the car just getting the crap wrung out of it....and of course when contacted, the original owner denied it all and did (again from what I remember) not end up living to his end of the bargin (once realizing his claims to never abusing the car and 'nothing being wrong with it were totally proven false) by promising to address and help the new owner cover some of the cost of stuff he 'covered up and hid' (huge transmission problems, rear end problems, etc) from the purchaser by lieing and misleading him over the problems the car did actually have.
I'll try to dig around and see if I can find it....but I do know the color and the stripes of this GT500 are the same as the one sold to this other guy a year or two ago that was a complete screwing.
I'm not sure if the story I mention rings any bells, but feel free to 'correct me' if I'm mistaken or just flat wrong. I just remember reading a very long thread about the trials and tribulations the new owner ended up going through because he had always wanted to own his 'dream car' when the original owner who sold it TOTALLY and COMPLETELY screwed the purchaser over. I think the sale took place somewhere around chicago if that rings any bells for anyone.....
