Now I know Mall of Georgia & Gwinnett Place have had quite a few Shelbys pass through their hands. So where's everybody at? I'd love to get together for a cruise-in or something. Anyone know of any car shows going on? I'm just itching to hang out and have some fun. I've only seen one other in my area (white/blue coupe), and another (black/tungsten coupe) at the AMS Friday Night Street Drags. But I know you're out there so post up!

Alpharetta close enough? Just got mine on 9/13/07. It was raining when I picked it up from Jacky Jones in Cleveland (Georgia), so I guess I do drive in the rain!

I am over in Marietta and I don't drive in the rain. I think it could be a lot of fun to meet somewhere in the GA mountains and have a road rally. Maybe meet up at one of the Hotels/lodges and go from there.

Welcome Gary! Congrats on the ride. Gonna be a Merry Christmas for sure!

Seems like we gotta few coming outta the woodworks now. I knew it was only a matter of time. I actually came across a grabber orange GT500 in the Fry's parking lot in Alpharetta the other week. Poor thing was dirty as hell...looked like the guy lived on a dirt road (judging by the orange dirt covering the wheels/tires).

So is anyone up for getting together sometime? We could grab dinner and gawk at our cars or something. Hell, I dunno...any suggestions? I like young768's idea of heading up to the mountains. I know its getting chilly around here lately, but who knows? :shrug:

I've been lighting em up all week in 2nd & 3rd. And I don't know about you, but this drought STILL SUCKS. I haven't washed my baby in over 3 months. :cry:

I need to just find one of those DIY car washes and take my buckets. I actually got stuck in the rain on Sunday...only the second time mine's seen rain. :banghead:

Anyways, lets do...something...

Hey Pig,
Thanks. I was exchanging messages yesterday with "mciarochi". He welcomed me and we discussed a day in the mountains. Turns out we live about 5 minutes from each other. I ride my Harley in the mountains and used to take my old Triumph TR6 up Highway 60 through Suches. "Spirited driving" in the mountains has GOT to be fun in a Shelby. Even more fun with a bunch of them.

Another great day-trip is Deals Gap (NC). I am sure someone on this board has been there. The "Dragon's Tail" is an 11-mile stretch of road with 300 turns. Long day, but you can do an up and back trip.

I'll post here when I get my car - I am "in" for a group drive through the North Georgia Mountains.

Gary

That's sad about the dirty Grabber. Haven't seen it. Poor thing needs a bath!

Anyway, if you are in the 400 neighborhood, there's a Hurricane DIY car wash just west of 400 off exit 12. I bring a bucket, and use the wand w/no soap to get it wet and fill the bucket. Wash the car and wheels, then rinse everything off and dry it. With the vacuum, I end up spending less than five bucks.

Except for the five bucks, it's pretty much the same as doing it in the driveway.

I'd definitely be up for a mountain trip. I've run the "Dragon's Tail" a few times in my 96 Cobra and its a lot of fun....as long as you like roller coasters.

mciarochi, thanks for the info on the car wash. Thats exactly what I'm looking for, and only about 10 minutes from where I am.

Just brought home my 08 Shelby GT. I'll update my signature with the particulars and attach a photo. This is more fun than I deserve! Count me in for a group ride.
