Ron, That is way I am glad to own mine because I love the cars, not that I want to make a bundle. Doesn't matter what the market does since I do not want to sell and am happy keeping it.

Greg, Your philosophy is the same as mine. I just love the cars. If I see a deal then I buy it. Otherwise I just admire these sexy Shelby's like I would a sensuous woman.

Joe: Right on bro! I feel the same too. I always look at my Shelby right before I go to sleep. Just open the garage door, look at my Shelby posters and my car, smile and go to sleep knowing that I have what makes me happy. ....for the sensual woman, I have to say.....to love me is to love my cars!!(smile) or at least show it.

Jon, If anything happens to my wife, I'm done. I've got enough outside interests that I do not have the time, energy nor interest to try and figure out how to keep a female "happy". I run, I read, and I rub on my cars. The tank of my life is...FULL.
