Enough with the practical
Vash's Prius shopping thread with posts suggesting there is a certain, ah, "maturing" among us. Thinking practicality when it comes to cars. Nothing wrong with that, especially when considering daily driver cars. Actually admirable to see guys here getting into logical thinking.
But for the opposite? Here's one in the totally opposite thinking on BAT. Flat crank V-8, 526 horsepower, Tremec 6 speed, Torsen limited slip rear end, fully independent suspension, well, you've read of it before... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2015-ford-shelby-gt350-f0054-tech-package/

Nice! I'd never buy it, but I like it. Can't believe it's a six year old car.

I'll confess to having been briefly tempted...before reminding myself that I'm thinking of selling my current Mustang because my left foot has a snapped tendon making for problematic clutch working.
Yeah...hard to believe how fast time goes...

There was one at the Salem dealership...but with $10K additional dealer markup tacked on. I won't play that game. I realize it's just biz..the dealer has every right to ask it, but I have the right to say no. I can wait..

Not that I'm going to spend that kind of money on a mustang or any car any time soon, but that's a heck of a car. I'd drive one of those.

Guys with sensible shoes and range limited issues really need to stay in the right hand lane.

The GT350 as a used car strikes me as a lot of special for the money. I’d really like to drive one. No way I’d pay a premium for one with 150 miles though, there are plenty of low mileage used examples out there for $40k.
