Tucson Show - Rode in The Ford GT
I'm still trying to recover from our annual MCA Regional Show today. Long
weekend, lots of fun, light rain most of the day, but also lots of sunshine
in the afternoon. The highlight of the day for me was a five-minute ride in
the Ford GT that our dealer brought out for our show. They had just replaced
the defective front control arms and the driver said they align the tires by
driving it. In my most innocent voice I asked, can I ride along? Well, sure!
Oh, what fun! That car has instant acceleration yet is so quiet even when
the engine is revving. The funny part was that it was raining lightly and
the driver said, gee where's the wiper switch? There are so many different
switches it took him a minute to find it on the right side of the steering
column. I didn't stop grinning for at least an hour after that ride.
Then we parked it right by the front doors of the hotel and I had the fun
task of wiping the car down. I've never cleaned a quarter million dollar car
before. Talk about being very careful.....
