Changed life?
Being 19 and buying my 67 GT350....if was fun to work on it, get it running, get the body "done" drive it, car shows....where I never worried about it that much. feelings never got hurt not winning. Drove it to "places for late night fun"
Later in life, events more related to Shelbys, discovered fun track events, discovered owners were not all they were made out to be, discovered backstabbing at its best. Still, enjoyed my car.
Later in fife, there was "life" school, work, more life, and sold the car, because? Life.
Went through my prime and had no Shelby, life still was fun, but missing the hobby.
Later in life, have a few Shelbys, a Boss and do my own thing! Much better as I do not listen to BS and I do not read it anymore, except for the entertainment that pops up. I have had the pleasure of owning a FGT, Thats'a big PERIOD. If you did not smile just getting into that car, something was wrong. Still have all the old stuff, but now I drive a 2012 LS Boss, and next to the FGT, smiles are back!! People who own, understand.
Change my life for better or worse? I would say, "Evolved." -Still doing my own thing.
