Hey everyone. I am new to the forum but have been a lurker for months and months. Gleaned a ton of information that really helped me find the right GTS. I have wanted a blue/white GTS since they came out and it is great to finally have one. It's this one here:
It's a 17K mile car. I drove it back from Chicago on Thursday and was impressed that it was actually a pretty decent road car. However, cruise control would be nice
I already got bit by the thing. Some spirited driving the other night in a stretch of abandoned road wound up with me checking a curb. I'll consider it a wakeup call. I'm lucky, I injured the passenger side wheel and knicked up the fascia in front of the wheel. Stupidity is never rewarded. I guess I thought I knew the car better than I did. I road course a 1966 G.T. 350 so maybe I over estimated my driving skills too! ;-) I would imagine the original Michelins, being 8+ years old (but with plenty of tread) probably didn't help. However, there are no excuses, it was my fault.
So, the car will be at the dealer for alignment and hopefully nothing worse. then I'll have to have the knick fixed somehow as well (it's hard to notice, I didn't see it until I put the car up on a jack to check for damage).
Regardless, wanted to thank you guys collectively for all the good info that led to the purchase!
