I got out the little red scooter and I have rolled into the sunset. Gibbs helped make the ride easier. I found that it is lonely out there in the sun set. There are not many who want to debate the benefits of dual points in a curved distributor. Not when they can open the laptop and input advance data with finite precision and control. Control that was completely impossible with the old spinning rub block and bouncing points.
I have taken the plunge that I have dreaded. I am stepping up to the future. I have ordered a 2011 Mustang Shelby GT500. Like the one at the top of this posting. I have followed the car since they came on the scene. I was part of the focus group at the Flat Rock Plant. I always felt that as the blood line continued it would get better.
Remember the Impala SS. The last model was the best of the entire run. Why didn't they do that at the first run and not wait till the end. They probably would have sold more cars. Or how about the Corvair. Now I am really dating myself. The last models in the last year were some real nice looking, good performing cars. I am not picking on GM. What happened to the Mercury Marauder?
Along that line I have been watching the GT500 line up make it's changes and shifts over the years. Always waiting for the new model to introduce some new magical option or performance upgrade. Well, waiting is over. I placed an order for the 2011 model. I ordered the car in Race Red with white stripes. I also sprung for the SVT Package which puts some real wild tires on the car along with some healthy suspension changes. The big buzz was the aluminum 5.4 block in the new model. I guess I can put off going on that diet since Ford has shaved some weight out of the GT500.
I resisted and found that resistance is futile. I have taken the plunge. Now to put a drop of Gibbs on the hinges of the lap top so I can set injector curves and plug firings per cycle. I will now be an electronic shade tree performance buff. I guess I can sit under a plastic palm tree and call it a day.
I have received a couple questions about using Gibbs to preserve bare metal. Use it to prevent flash rusting on recently stripped parts. When the time comes to paint just follow the prep and paint instructions for the product you are using.
I have to plug in my lap top so I'll be ready to join the tuning group. Don't want to leave home with a low battery in my magic box.
