Somehow I don't think that happened, but you'd have to wait until the timeout period to sell it.

If it get one (supposedly they are being staged) it would be like trout fishing in the St Vrain: Catch and release.

As for me, I can't drive the one I have, and unless a miracle happens, I won't be driving the new one either. My high performance driving days are over and the regular days are numbered.

It's genetic. Both of my daughters have the same problem, and one is really getting worried about hers and she's only 36.

Dear Tony, I am sorry to inform you that you have not been selected to own the Ford GT. Unfortunately, you are not a member of the Ford GT Forum clique nor do you worship at the feet of DBK. If only you would have offered your FGT to Shelby for a insultingly low number, you might have been offered the opportunity to spend half your life savings on a V6 powered tractor car. I wonder how bad the 05/06 GT market is going to tank now with the dozens of cars going up for fire sale as people raid their 401Ks and mortgage their homes away to stroke that check?

Got the "no soup for you" email a little after midnight.

Me too, Tony, so you are not alone! Misery loves company. Working on implementing my backup plan now... scouring the McLaren dealership inventory.

Geez, It's very nice but I think I will never spend $30,000 on the services of all my cars together, let alone just one..

I personally think McLaren is a good backup plan. For the same money as a NFGT you could get a 650S plus a low miles 12C. That's the whole thing about the new Ford I don't understand - it's not going to be price/performance competitive...

Default Mclaren 650-S
I was going to go the 650S route also, a great car. I really did not expect to be chosen but am very glad I was.
Very sorry to hear of your vision problem Tony. I can partially relate, had a partially detached retina in March and had to have the Gas bubble laser fix.

Gee Tony, that's a bombshell to drop. I'm very sorry to hear this bad news about you and your family. We've had our disagreements over the years, but that all pales in comparison to one's health. I wish you and your family good health, the best of luck and always safe passage.

PS. Noone is dying, but our eyes are awful. I'd mentioned this before.

PPS. You want to know the scary thing? My drivers license has no restrictions. The DMV eye test is a farce. There is a difference between driving and driving safely.
