Good bye folks !!!! :( and Thank you

Ever since I started driving, I have driven BMW s all the way. The most fun cars to drive . All-though in between I've had a Mercedes, but I wasn't happy with the way it feels, so I have to part it after couple of months.

Today, I spoke to a ford dealer about the new 2013 ford Shelby GT500 and I ordered one. I know FORD ("Found On the Road Dead") is not a fun car to drive , but 2013 Shelby GT500 seems promising. I can't afford to maintain two cars , so I'm parting with my BMW E92 335 ( sad and emotional eh? )

I had fun on this site, great community, entertaining ,good suggestions and quick responses.

Hopefully I will get a BMW and revisit this site in the future.
I'm sure I'm going to get a stick for mentioning about FORD here and I expect that

Please keep us posted on the Shelby. It is supposed to be an amazing car. There's a big thread on Ford Mustang vs. M3 somewhere around here....

When do you get the car?

You're nuts. The Shelby is an amazing car! One drive and you'll FORGET all about your 335.

Enjoy it in good health yogi. We were glad to have you for all of this time!

Good move! That's a sick car. Which dealer and were you able to talk them into MSRP or below (if you don't mind me asking)?

Ford has made amazing strides the past few years and are putting out quality cars at many levels of the market.

The new mustangs are awesome. Enjoy.

It's an amazing car with amazing numbers but...

...it is a car for a different type of customer and one that values different things. Another member had a '12 GT500 and loved the power and rawness of the vehicle but couldn't put up with the ford built quality, interior finish and overall class of the vehicle. I think a lot of people that make the trade eventually feel the same way.

BTW... 30 minutes is way too long for raginclue to jump in this thread on mustangs... lol

Despite what the 335i fanboys will want to believe, I'm sure you'll enjoy 650hp Congrats!
