OK I gotta confess....

....the whole screen name & plate idea thread wasn't for a "friend". The cat is outta the bag on some other sites, so i better be a good girl and tell the truth! I was waiting to post pics. (it's been raining, snowing, and just yucky here).

As some of you know, I had been lusting (yes I know its a sin ) over the 2008 Convertible Shelby GT(Vista Blue with Silver Stripes), but after much research decided it was just way too out of our budget. I even looked at trading in J's truck on a Vert Beetle like i had before i got the Roadster, but no one could give us what we needed on the truck. I've been praying on how we could get rid of Jamie's truck and get me a DD, but no answer. But finally after I was gonna give up, God gave us a blessing. We found an INCREDIBLE STEAL!!! Plus they gave us what we needed for our truck!

I am the 3rd owner. The first owner bought it, but traded it back in for a manual shift. Then it was sold to former Tennessee Titans football player #72 Brad Hopkins. He traded it in 5 days ago in Nashville. I found it on e-bay on Friday. They had JUST listed it. Anyway, we just got an incredible deal. Too good to be true if u ask me! (Less than a regular GT vert)!

I am now the owner of #33 of 100--2007 Vista Blue Roush Roadster

Here are some photos that the salesman sent me....








The salesman is going to work with Jamie on Mustang Ministries doing a car show with him to help raise money for cancer. The show will feature Alan Jackson's cars, cause he is a good customer of our salesman. Speaking of, when we went to pick the car up in Cookeville (they met us halfway too!), he only had one set of keys. He said that Brad had left the other set over at Alan's house (ALAN JACKSON!!!!) My car keys are at Alan Jackson's house!!! How cool is that! We got the salesman to get Brad to autograph the window sticker to us. We are also gonna ask if he can find out if Alan ever drove the car, since the keys are at his house! Then when we do the show for cancer, maybe Alan will be there and I can get his autograph too! Jamie & I joked on the way home. There is a small scratch on the glove box, and i told him it was from Brad's Superbowl Ring, but he said "No, it's from Alan's boot!"

It was just an amazing experience! It took a while to sink in, but I have been blessed with 2 limited edition cars! Only 100 in the world, and I have 2! I still can't even believe it! I don't deserve these blessings!!!! But I am VERY VERY THANKFUL for them!!!!

Jamie talked to the salesman today and he said that when he got our truck (Nissan Titan) back to the dealership he talked to his father-in-law. His father-in-law had just sold his car the night before and was looking for a truck. The salesman asked what kind of truck he wanted and his father-in-law described our truck to the tee. He now owns our truck.

Another cool thing is that we traded in a TITAN and got a car from a former TITAN! LOL

Ok I've yapped too much, just too excited I guess!

Prob cause if the salesman told me where he lived I would've! He said that he went to go get them, but Alan was out of town! Maybe he will get Alan to mail them to us and THEN I'll have his address to stalk him!

The pic I didn't post was one of the Ricer lights. EEEWWWW! FIRST MOD!!!

Yea, congrats, it's a beauty!

As they say, "confession is good for the soul." Now go find a pastor and beg for forgiveness.

Well, I guess I'll forgive her if she lets me drive the new car.

Wow! You guys are getting quite a stable. That is a really nice one.

So do you still have that red RR?

If so, that makes it 3 Roush and one V6 Mustang right?

Yep, for now. I'm thinking about getting rid of the house, buying a large metal building to house the cars and sleep in a tent. That way I can afford to mod!

Congrats on Roush #3....a fine looking machine!

I was going to suggest "Devil with the blue dress"....but then thought better of it....considering.

So, how about "Lady with the blue dress"???





EDIT....just in case you're not familiar with it, Devil with the blue dress, is an old song from the 60's....very popular then, but some folks of a younger age might not be familiar with it.
