I woke up after dreaming I sold my SHO for a Dodge Dually -- I have no idea where that came from.

I watched Inception for first time last night -- I think that was the problem.

I had to walk outside and see if my SHO was still in the parking garage to realize I was in fact in realty.

Take it to shop?

My kids turned me onto some new TV Show titled "Under The Dome".

Actually a fairly interesting show.... anyone else seen it yet? I believe this past Monday was the 3rd episode to have aired.

Sorry, There was a School Bus Yellow Mustang sometime since the '05's came out wasn't there?  Or maybe it was a stripe color?

I looked again. Definitely Orange.

Here's my thought;

I'm disappointed in my SHO. I was just destroyed by a 2.0L Supercharged Cobalt SS. It was enough to piss my morning off.

I really hope the turbos, meth, and 400awhp make a difference otherwise I may just say screw it and go buy a GT500 like I originally planned.

Don't be so hard on it.  You went up against a go-cart that weighs half of your Sho.  I had a TC balt and those bastards can be made to go really fast.  Even having a low 12 second Sho with future mods can still leave you on the short end against shittier cars.

No matter how much you modify somebody will be faster, always! No matter how much money you have somebody has more, always!
I bought my Flex because I could fit in it and eventually I could make it "quick". A 12 second car rules 90% of the street but there's still 10% out there that will kick your ass. Keep going down in times and that percentage keeps going down. A GT500 give you way more power but also way less traction on the street, I've beat them at the track due to wheel spin.
Have fun with whatever you decide but just remember that a GT500 will get destroyed by a GT-R :)
