I would have no problem buying a Shelby. I can afford it. I make plenty a month, I have a great credit score, I have plenty in the bank for a down payment. I just grew up in a house where cars were deemed transpartation and not recreation. It took a year deployment for me to convince myself to spend $36k on a car in the first place. My wife tried to get me to buy a conv g37 when the didn't have the coupe w/ 6mt. That would have been the same cost as the Shelby I saw.

I feel you on that man. I was raised the same way.

I coulda paid cash for a Shelby, still thought it was too much money for a car...

I'm slowly breaking down though. It might be because everything else has gotten so expensive.

Sorry if I offended you. My bad. I'll leave this thread alone and go on my merry way.
