Our 1st Anniversary (some Mustang content inside)

**Alan** · 01-20-2008, 10:07 PM

Today marks our first wedding anniversary. So far so good. To celebrate the event we decided to take a few days off over on the space coast. She had never been and I hadn't been in years...so we figured it would be a fun time.

My plan was to rent a V6 Mustang vert for the drive over. Hertz screwed up the reservation and put us down for a Sebring. Granted, a V6 Mustang vert isn't the nicest car out there...but it sure as fuck beats a reborn Lebaron. We go to pick it up and the guy tells me they have a couple Shelby GT-H's in the back. Despite the experience with Scott's POS Shelby, I decide to fork over the extra cash and drive in style. They even gave us UNLIMITED miles since our original reservation was for an unlimited miles vehicle. SWEET!

Long story short...the car runs like a raped ape. Transmission is smooth and shifts quickly. None of the knock at full throttle like Scott experienced (I think they either de-tuned them to run on shit gas or they may actually be filling them up with 91+). My only complaint was the wet noodle chassis and the fixed traction control button. Great f-ing car. I may have to overlook the Ford emblem when the new Bullit comes out.

Anywho...here are some photos of the car, our trip, etc....

Shuttle on the pad. Scheduled to launch next month:

Apollo rocket:

If Sport Compact Car shot the lunar rover:

Rocket garden:

Obligatory Atlantic beach shot. This was the best weather we had the entire time over there:

Poppin' Moet, biches!

This was in the freezer for a year. Still tasted good, but it was a bit dry:

Part of my gift to my wife (the painted rabbit emblem):

The GT-H Verts are a diffrent build GT-H (basically a Job 2 build), which is probably why you had a better experiance then scott. ford fixed a bunch of the issues they had with the first GT-H coupes.
