Default Galveston

I was in Galveston in june and at the ford dealership there was a GT, white with blue stripes, identical to alan jackson's. i'm leaving for Galveston tonight in the hopes that it has not been sold, i am looting that bitch. lol. 0-60 in 3.3. 550 ft lbs, 500 hp, and it is a ford

i already have the powerstroke and trailer ready to go, i just need someone who knows how to hotwire a car that has a pushbutton for an ignition switch.

anybody wanna go with me? i'm leaving tonight at midnight, plan to be there at noon tomorrow afternoon, the storm should be gone by then. if you come with me, you can fill the back of my f-250 with your own looted ****, i just want the car.

thanks, any help would be much appreciated.

JUST KIDDING, please pray for my city of Galveston!

if you've got a trailier you dont really need to hotwire it, we could just pop it in neuteral and push it on the trailer. i cant weigh more than 3000 lbs.

and if its in the path of the hurricane. im sure ford would have moved it by now.

and yes. that is one badass car. and a bargain. last i checked they were were priced at $150k, but who knows about dealer markup.

i talked to the owner of Roger's Ford here in Midland, he bought a red one like in the picture i posted. he said msrp is $153,000, they can be marked up to $300,000

still a lot cheaper than a ferrari or lamborghini. and there are ford dealerships everywhere so it isn't like if something goes wrong it can't be fixed

i am not sure of the *exact* problem, but there was a full model line recall of the GT, because of an issue with something like the welds on the control arms, or ome connecting points in the front suspension, failing under stress, which could create quite an issue when youre zipping down a curvy mountain side, at say, 100mph...i always shy from first-run cars.
