[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 12416897, member: 134833"] Yep! I wish I had the funds to just buy my father a 13 Shelby GT500, but I don't! I also remember well giving my Dad a hard time one day in my teen years over selling his Shelby. I told him that he should have kept it so I could of had it and he laughed out loud and quickly said if he did still have it I wouldn't be driving it and for me to work hard and get my own ride. Which I soon did. Anyway, I thought it would be a nice gesture to simply put his name on the title. And I had to go through several hoops to do that since his name is not on the loan. Dad was completely surprised until we pulled into the dealer. Then he began to grin from ear to ear. The photographer/videographer began taking pics & video the minute we pulled up and I hope to post some of those pics in the very near future. She took over 300 pictures so it is taking some time to edit them for me. Anyway, I opened up the trunk of the car and gave Dad a Shelby GT500 hat and shirt which he quickly changed into and I showed him the car and all of the cool features. It was probably the best day of my life (and no I don't have kids yet!). I had left ALL of the plastic and crap on the car from the day prior so he helped me remove everything. He's only had 1 new car, a Ford Escort, and that was sitting on the lot so he thoroughly enjoyed removing all of the plastic from the car. We then went on a short drive where I made sure he babied as it was not broken in yet! The whole thing lasted right around 2 hours and my dealer was first class. They had the car waiting out front for us when we pulled in and let the photographer take numerous pics of it before we arrived. Both the dealer and the salesperson took several pictures next to the car with my Father and I and I probably got 10 hugs/handshakes from the dealer himself. I had mentioned that my Father was a Type 1 Diabetic and would have to eat a snack while there since it was lunch time. Well the dealer graciously ordered a ton of pizza and fed all of us and everyone else there! I could not have found a better place to buy and have my Shelby delivered. The whole event went exactly as I had dreamed it would go. Afterwards Dad signed a couple of papers as co-owner and we made the hour drive drive back to the house. Once there I surprised him again with all of the accessories I had bought for it; new CS1 wheels & tires (which he loved...pics coming soon), Lloyd floormats/cargo mat, hood struts, oil separators, rogue mount, stubby antenna, Ford racing resonator delete, and Airraid oil filter. Dad and I spent the afternoon putting everything on except for the oil separators. Also, Dad was calling everybody telling them of the news. I can't tell you how excited he was and how well the whole thing went. Hopefully the pictures my photographer took captured a lot of it and I will share them as soon as she is done editing.
