Thought of the day.

I stopped by Taylor Ford in Moncton today. We were chatting Mustangs at the parts counter and the gentlemen took me out in the shop to see a 2020 Shelby GT500. 300 kms on it. The owner buys them as investments. They told me the carbon fiber wheels were $42K alone and the carbon fiber wing was $14K. It was a beautiful car. Too bad he wouldn’t let me take it for a ride???709314EC-BB9C-4520-ACA5-F3AC0E09886E.jpeg1DCAE362-25E8-4DA3-8031-F4ED89AE059A.jpegBE5E1326-C724-44F2-A859-1E84D40ABD0D.jpeg
 
$42000 for carbon fibre wheels equipped with cheap ass 50 cent lug nuts with cheap ass white metal covers trying to look like chrome.

For the $25000 Carbon Fibre Track Pack option on the GT500, or any performance vehicle, you should at least get solid lug nuts.

Replacing the OEM lug nuts with Gorilla solid lugs are usually my first mod on any Ford.

I understand the economies of scale and how a couple of bucks can add up to millions on a production vehicle, but jeez I hate those. :LOL:

I agree and I suspect based on 350R wheels and wing, buddies stretching the numbers.
I suspect the guy has no real idea and was trying to impress LOL.
