I was outside cleaning my car.. and I see a new 2010 GT500 roll up to my intersection. I'm a car guy, and it doesnt matter who makes a car.. If its fast and nice.. I like it. So I was in my driveway, just staring at the car. I see the guy wave, so I gave him a thumbs up, and he gets on it. 15 minutes later, I see the guy (actually hear him first) coming back down the street. The guy slows down, then signals to turn into my driveway. I havent seen one up close, so it was bad ass to have one stop in my driveway! :D

The thing looked amazing. We were talking for awhile, and I found out that the guy lives about 5 houses down from me. I guess he bought it right before the winter. He liked the SS, and was amazed at how clean it was (he didnt know I just got done detailing it :laugh:). I'm sponsoring a car show during the summer and have a nice line up of cars coming to the show for my detailing job (C6 Z, new GTR, C5 Z, 67 Firebird, 04 Cobra, 04 Mach 1, 98 SOM Z28, my SS, 01 SS, and a 06 CBR600RR), so I figured, why not ask if he wants to come too? I worked out a killer deal for the car owners, so I decided to ask him if he wanted in as well. He said he had to check his schedule, but if he didnt have anything planned, he'd be there (he owns a funeral home).

I thought it was pretty cool and something worth sharing. He was a down to earth guy and was glad to meet another car enthusiast that lives on my street. (I have a neighbor that owns a 5.0 stang, another neighbor who just sold a 10 second 98 Formula, and now this guy). I've never seen the guy before, but it was nice meeting him! I'll try to get some pics of his ride soon.

I already got a friendly callout from a 04 cobra owner that I have to worry about... never mind a GT500! :laugh:

Nice to have neighbors that are car guys, that way when you fire up that new motor with open headers at 2 a m they dont call the cops!

On a seperate note I was admiring your SS pic in your sig and to me it looks like somebodys face is peaking through the drivers side window right above the seat! Creepy! Anybody else see it?

Wow!, the opening through the trees in the back ground looks like a generic face, like something from I-ROBOT.....

Im so saving the pic, and years from now I will put it on a ghost site and make millions!!!!

Tell me about it! I couldnt agree anymore.

I just saw my neighbors 5.0 pull into his driveway 20 mins ago. It sounds nasty..

I almost bought the 10 second Formula, but I couldnt come up with the funds in time. :(. It wasnt in as nice shape as my SS is though. It was more of a track car. I would have got into too much trouble with it anyway.
