I learned to drive a standard!!!
 
Alan just took my out for our 12th wedding anniversary. To the Murphy football stadium. To teach me how to drive a standard. In the new Ford GT.

I think my hubby lubs me a lot!

It was so fun. And that car handles so nicely. I can't wait to actually drive it on a street. Or get into 3rd gear.

hey,littlecobra 10-01-2006 06:40 PM

way to go, Colleen!!!!
I've been telling you I'd do it.... just never got 'tuit'.

Yeah, a parking lot is the best place!! Church parking lots on non- church days, high schools on Sunday's, etc.

Congrats!! The rest will come smoothly enough--- getting the 'feel' from first to second is most important!

How was the show yesterday?? Sorry I missed it. :( I had 10 10 year olds for #3's bday party. David was gone all weekend.

Oh, and happy anniversary!!! 12 is great!!!! David and I had #21 on Thursday, the 28th. :)

Now you're ready for the dragstrip with me!!! :LOL: :LOL:
Kristen

ps. WHAT new Ford GT??? Blue with Gulf colors or something else?????!!!! :confused: :D

I'm so proud! I knew you could do it Colleen!

Mrs 66 Snake 10-01-2006 06:53 PM

Kristen,
3 weeks ago a brand new '06 Ford GT white w/blue stripes just showed up in my garage. I was in the middle of Stand Up for Families and apparently wasn't paying enough attention.

Alan says you should come by and take it for a spin.

The show was nice - 43 cars and beautiful weather. What more to ask for?

David,
Thank you! I just wish I was good enough to bring it with me to Conroe. As it is, it'll just be me and the Grand Cherokee. But if I try really hard I bet I can get it up past 90 mph. ;)

Pretty good car to learn how to drive a stick in, Colleen! Can't be many folks out there who can say the same as you. :D

My Dad taught me in a 1965 Dodge Dart 225 slant six. :CRY:

Try to spare the tires some on the 1-2 shifts with that baby. ;)

Enjoy!!!

Cheers!
Dave

Beautiful car - Congratulations
 
...now where can we get contrasting unwaxed dental floss?:D

hey,littlecobra 10-04-2006 09:17 PM

now how cool is that- reverse matching cars!!! neat-o!!!

I encouraged David to 'let me' reverse stripe the new Ford truck. So far no luck, but hmmm maybe while i'm in st. Louis I can get it done!! :LOL:

way to go, Alan. Looks really neat. Can't wait to see it- maybe the Nov. meet since ya'll won't be there this Saturday???

Wow. :D
Kristen

Mrs 66 Snake 10-04-2006 10:14 PM

Rick, you are so funny (actually your whole HCC group is hysterical - don't think I haven't seen the comments about safety straps on my shoes!)

I keep telling Alan that pay back is a biatch. ;)

Kristen, Looks like y'all will be seeing Alan this Saturday after all. He's got a work project on Saturday, so it's just me headed to Conroe. But I don't think he's bringing the GT. Like he says, "It's a "COBRA" club meeting." And our poor baby hasn't been driven near enough this year. So plan on seeing a blue and white car Saturday. :)

Dave, Thanks for the good wishes. I'll see what I can do about leaving the tires intact. :LOL:

i learned to drive a stick in a 62 Fiat 500 with suicide doors

hey,littlecobra 10-05-2006 05:56 AM

well he COULD bring the gt, I took 'Gus' to a meet for his introduction, and of course Matt has brought his... .but anyway, glad Alan is coming to the meet!!!
You have a good time in Conroe, and STAY SAFE!!!

(Did you know I'm heading off to St. Louis next week for Run n Gun??? hey, I wouldn't mind taking you along as a co-pilot!!! :D )
