Well, I finally got to meet Mr. Saleen yesterday. He was here in Albuquerque for the 45 Anniversary of the Ford dealership here. Very down to earth a mellow guy he is - pretty cool!
They brought the new S331 Sport Truck to show-off. Man! That truck just looks awesome! Now I need to get one of those too! I'm partial to white and they had a white one with the black chevrons/stickers.
Now, the real kicker. Atleast for me, because this guy I'm gonna' talk about just lives a few houses down from me. They had on display the 2005 Berrylium S7 (Steve's Car I think - not a "stock" S7, if that is possible) that has been going around to the various car shows this year - beautiful car. Anyhow, my neighbor, who owns just about every car I have ever drooled over ('04 Z06, '05 Z06, Copperhead Viper - 2 of them, RSI CTS-V Cadillac, '05 S281-S/C, '67 GTO, '01 S281 TT 1000 HP Saleen, 2 H1's, and the list goes on), showed up and offered Steve a bundle of cash for the car and next thing you know....he's buying the car!!! I'm really glad for him, but now I get to jones every day that I hear or see that amazing car. I have to stress hear, if you've heard that car just idle you'll know what I'm talking about.
It's not that ofter I get to share a story like that, so I thought I'd share.
