Ford GT's still being wrecked???

Sour grapes. Instead of acknowledging a Ford GT is a good buy for all the right reasons, sour grape cc members counter with stock tips.

I'm back from Petco. They had a sale on kitty litter and what a pain in the a$$ to carry 2 bags of kitty litter onto a crowded subway! Don't know how guys handle summer weather driving their hot rods. I need air conditioning! Well, that's my life today.

Sour grapes? Read more carefully. The FGT is one of my favorite cars of all time. A "great buy" as you say? I don't know.

However, Evan mentioned that he thought the Ford GT could be worth $1MM in 10 years or less. And that's entirely possible. No one can predict the future. I only offered a more liquid alternative investment with a 10+ year track record of 15%+ returns (to get to $1MM) for those seeking a place to park their $250,000 for 10 years.

As for carrying two bags of kitty litter around, consider it your exercise for today. Or you could consider it training for this:

The Ford GT was a good buy 2-3 years ago. Now, not so much... Buy low, sell high. I got my heritage for a good price (as is the case whenever someone buys something from someone else, or you wouldn't have done it).

Buying a FGT now thinking it is going to go exponentially up is like buying apple stock. Or Ford stock when it was about a buck. The money to be made were with the ones who got in at the bottom.

Buy one now because you want one, not because you think it's an investment.

P.S. Everything I own is for sale. For a price.

I bought my GT new in '05 and paid the Stealer $5K over Sticker..............Didn't' care.
Yeah, I don't drive it much lately because of Cell talking - texting, Kid beating - Minivan Moms. But when I do --The World is a Happy Place !!
As far as investments- $100K profit is only a phone call away - Don't care, it will be part of my Widow's inheritance.
The Roush Powered Superformance is a hell of a lot fun as well !!

Well, a few of these should find their way to the graveyard....car and/or driver.

FGT Twin Turbo; 1,700 hp; Current Guinness Record holder for fastest standing mile at 283 mph (in 22 seconds!).

At those speeds, I imagine you don't just scratch and dent it a little when you wad it up. SCCA will just put an asterisk by your name and the car's number.

These Twin Turbo Ford GTs Are The Fastest Street Cars In The World
