Took a Ford GT for a ride!!!
A few months ago, I was able to take my 8 yr old son for a nice ride in a Ford GT. It is definitely something him and I will never forget!!! This is also my sons dream car (and mine) so it was great to be able to take him for a ride in his over $250,000 dream car. TALK ABOUT A FATHER SON MOMENT!!!

if I won the lotto a GT would be the first car I started hunting for...might even need 2, one to keep stock and one to mod!

Re: Took a Ford GT for a ride!!!
Man I'm jealous, dream ride for sure! Crazy to think they retailed for $150k when they came out, now they're selling for an easy quarter mil or more and I'm sure they're only going to keep going up in value.

Re: Took a Ford GT for a ride!!!
I am good friends with the owner and we are in the same mustang club. He has a 2007 Parnelli Jones Saleen also. He also knows my wife because he goes to the dental office that she works at.
We went to a car show one day and he brought it there. I asked if I could go for a ride after the show and he said sure. It was pretty busy so he had me follow him to his house after the show. He also knows how much my son LOVES Ford GT's so he gave me a ride in it over to my house to surprise my son with it. I called my wife ahead of time to make sure he would be outside. You should have seen his face when we arrived!! He asked my son if he wanted to go for a ride and of course he said yes. He then asked my son if he wanted me to drive it. I'm thinking OH YEAH!!!! So he threw me the keys and let me take my son for a ride in it. He bought it last fall and he said he paid $257,000 for it. I never thought I would ever have a chance to drive a car like that. Its amazing watching people reaction when you drive by. There was one guy washing his truck and he actually dropped his hose and stared as I drove by so of course I had to give him a little show. LOL I was doing well over 100 in second gear. It actually rides a lot nicer than I thought it would. Its not the smoothest ride of course but not as bad I thought it would be.

Re: Took a Ford GT for a ride!!!
the price of those cars was going the right way where I thought maybe I could sell an organ or two and get one one of these years...then they sky rocketed the other direction...
