My probation officer was happy to get rid of me..........:)
I took a move with the comapny I had been with for last 6 years about a year and half ago.
Both my boys are out of college and working in the real world.
I went to school at UF and wife loved Gainesville and the strong medical community.
She has been retired and disabled for about 3 years.
We are just putting the house in Winder on the market.
I switched jobs about 6 months ago and took a gig at UF. Less stress better hours more fun.

I recently got invited to a local club that shoots the old long guns. I had to bring out my old rifles:

First was a Winchester 94 (also know as a Model of 1894):

And then my Henry in .357:

I also have a couple of Browning 5-A's in 12 and 20:

The above shotguns are for bird shooting. The rifles are for hunting.

Ya'll got any lever action rifles? Please post 'em. I think they are fun.

I was very happy to find out that Lt. Col. Oliver North has just been elected President of the NRA. He is a former Marine and born in Texas:

I really want a new Mustang with a Coyote engine.

I sold my 2011 Mustang GT which I have always regretted.

The experience of buying a new one is very difficult. Most Ford salesman have no clue what a Coyote engine is.

And then they send me back to the Sales Manager who seems like he should be featured on the next TV version of "American Greed". How does a guy buy one of these cars today?

I'm not really that excited about it. However, I do love the color. If I was looking for a 550 and it was sticker I would consider it. Can you get PP1 or PP2 on it?

Tom,
I am not a Bullitt buyer. I was impressed by the article with it's history on the Coyote engine. It's great what Ford engineering has done with it. I owned a 2011 GT which was a nice car but got hit in a hail storm:

I'd be a buyer of a new Vodoo GT350 if I could find one with no ADM (additional dealer mark-up).

The best Ford Mustang every made (so far) is the 2019 Mustang GT350:

Great car! Were there any improvements with the 2020 model year? A friend of mine has a 2020 GT350 on order and I have a 2020 GT500 on order. They are scheduled to get built on Oct 28th and 30th. It will be interesting to compare/contrast the 2 cars.

Goose, my 2020 GT350 is due in two weeks, was built October 1.

twister orange, black roof, no stripes.

I talked to Jim Owens at Carlisle back in June, he said the 19 and 20 350’s have improved brakes, new wheels, and the pilot sport cup 2’s from the R are now standard.

He said a 19 and 20 350 is equal to an 18R.

So, other than some color option changes, everything else is unchanged? I recall hearing the 2020 GT500 beefed up engine block casting found its way into the 350. I asked a Ford insider when this happened and he said it started around the beginning of this calendar year.
