Van Halen and the Shelby GT500

[vanhalen1r2]

So back in October I bought a 2012 Shelby GT500.

First thing I did was let my son who was 18 at the time get in and fire it up when we went to get her.

Next thing I did put in Fair Warning and played Mean Street followed by Unchained as I drove her for the first time I was in heaven, this was back in October, now every time I drive I play some Van Halen usually VH 2 I just cannot get enough of Light Up The Sky and DOA.

I swear its like being 17 again.





Long Live Classic Van Halen

Yessir!!! 550 hp and 510 ft lbs of tq should do that to ya!!! That there Mustang is pretty damn close to a time machine and it seems like you're feeling the effects. I'd love to be in that drivers seat!

I love your car! I have been a Mustang guy since.....well......maybe 1965. I rode home from the hospital after being born in a brand new 1965 coupe. I have owned numerous Mustangs over the years including a 1995 Cobra, a 2001 Bullitt and I 2003 Mach 1. I currectly have a 1986 GT with t-tops and a 1993 SSP coupe and am currently saving up for a Shelby.

I know qikgts above from a Mustang forum devoted to 79-86 Mustangs.

That is a bad ride! Well done! I'll be picking up a 2012 GT myself here in the next couple of months. Beautiful cars!

Sorry man, I'm gonna disagree here.. the GM interior aesthetic leaves a lot to be desired. Plastic and AC/Delco..

To be 100% honest, my grandpa owned a Chevrolet dealership as I grew up. I spent a lot of days there fucking around in my youth. I worked there starting at 15. my older brother worked there from 15. My Dad ran the place for many years. We all drove Chevys. That was it. So I was born into it.

But that old sticker "I'd rather push a (blank) than drive a (blank)"

Fuck that. I'd rather drive a fucking Le Car than push either a Ford or Chevy. Pushing sucks.



*But yeah. I secretly do dig the old Mustangs from the 60's. Sshhh.

I'll have a new Camaro with the touch screen nav....... oh wait, you can't get one with that.

The Camaro had an outdated interior the day it was introduced.

I did find where Chevy got the idea for the rear end styling for the new Camaro:

[sadaist]

Well, as far as Chevys I've always had SUV's. I have never owned a sports car sadly. So I can't really say about the aesthetics.


Damn dudes. Remember way back when the only cup holders we had were cheap plastic things we bought at 7-11 & they hung from our door window? LOL

That was a nice looking car. I like to talk a little smack but I owned a '78 and a '73 Trans Am back in the day.
