I love you, I won't kill you

Tim "Tall" Speck, manager of the Columbia Classic Ford car dealership, now regrets getting in this Ford Shelby GT500, the two-door thoroughbred American version of the "muscle" sports coupe.

He has to admit that he also likes it very much. As early as 2007, the Ford "Mustang" and the racing legend Carroll Shelby jointly launched the Shelby "Cobra" GT500, which has the most powerful civilian version. Road class racing.

However, if he is really asked to drive this super sports car that accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in just 4.7 seconds, he is worried that he will not have enough guts to keep driving.Because the Shelby GT500 requires the driver to have strong enough skills and guts, this car is inherently designed for skidding and flicking, just to pursue the original pleasure of breaking free.

"Watch out, there's a car ahead!" Tim gripped the top armrest of the door tightly with his right hand, resting on the sofa cushion with his left.

"Please, you are a sales manager, are you afraid of riding in the car you sell? Hey, your seat belt is loose!" Amanda easily supported the steering wheel, and accelerated to 4th gear as soon as she shifted gears with her right hand.

"What? It's impossible!" Tim didn't dare to look at the front windshield anymore, and subconsciously touched the seat belt tightly tied to his chest.

"Tim, do you really believe me? Sit down, I'm about to go into fifth gear."

"my God!"

The Shelby "Cobra" GT500 equipped with a manual transmission can reach a crazy speed of 5 kilometers per hour when it is shifted to the highest gear 320th gear.The whole car weighs more than 1.7 tons, with uncontrollable power and seemingly inexhaustible sense of acceleration, the "pure-bred beast" perverted car, in the hands of Amanda, began to really show the side of "losing its mind and becoming a beast".

"Cool! Tim, I like this car!" Amanda turned off the vehicle stability control system while talking, and began to step on the accelerator with all her strength to accelerate.

"I know! Pay attention, the rear of the car is starting to slip!!" Tim's voice trembled.

"Yeah, I just want it to slip. Crazy beast trying to beat a human girl? No!!!" Amanda actually had the mood to turn her face to the side and talk to Tim.

Under her acceleration, the GT500 began to sway left and right and struggle with all its strength, just like a preying cobra drawing an S-shaped route and advancing at high speed on the road.The two rear wheels slid unrestrainedly on the road, continuously spewing out thick white smoke caused by huge friction, and at the same time the engine was roaring strongly, as if trying to break free from the shackles of the car body!

Located in the east of the suburbs of Columbia and south of the Weston Lake Recreation Area, Leesburg Road is only 14.5 miles (about 22.5 kilometers) long.It can be finished in 18 minutes by driving an ordinary car at the most ordinary speed.

However, the GT5, running at the 500th gear at high speed, reached the junction with the East Highway 5 in less than 601 and a half minutes.Staring closely at the road with only two lanes in front of her, Amanda just said, "Hurry up! I'm going to tailgate!"

I saw that Amanda turned her right foot to the inside of the left, stepped on the brake with her right heel, and stepped on the accelerator on the right with her front foot, and at the same time stepped on the clutch on the left with her left foot.

While doing movements on the feet, the left hand suddenly pulled the steering wheel to the left, followed by the palm of the right hand to support the gear lever handle, and instantly reduced the speed to the 4th gear position.

The strong friction between the two rear tires and the road made an unbearable scream, "Hey..."

Tim's eyes widened, and he felt the entire car seemed to be suspended in mid-air.As the entire car body slid sideways to the right side of the road, his body also drifted along with the drift of the car body.

The whole process of "drifting" and the momentum of the whole scene make people seem to be enjoying a Hollywood 3D action movie.The difference is that you only need to wear 3D glasses when sitting in a movie theater, but now you can experience it yourself at this very moment.

"Amanda, please! Now, let me die!" Tim yelled, eyes closed, terrified.

"Tim, you are not a Sunni militant, why should I let you die?" Amanda joked.

"Okay, open your eyes!" she said again.

"Oh, it's over? Is this tail flick?" Tim blinked and found that the car was driving on Route 601 intact.

Amanda held the steering wheel with her left hand and said with satisfaction, "Yeah. Well, this car has a good level of drift."

Tim finally felt relieved, "Are you satisfied now? Amanda, it's a miracle that you came back from Iraq intact!"

"Miracle? Uh, you mean you want me to go home on crutches or in a wheelchair?"

"No! What a lovely girl you are, how can you lose a leg or two?"

"Really? After the tail flick just now, you still think I'm cute?"

"Er, er, yes. Oh, and strong and brave and courageous!"

When the car was about to drive the North Boundary Road northeast of the recreation area, Amanda had already driven halfway around the Weston Lake Recreation Area.Looking at Tim beside him, he smiled and said, "Hurry up, do it again!"

Tim looked ugly, "Okay, I will."

A perfect "drift" technique allowed the entire vehicle to drive sideways onto the North Boundary Road.Amanda raised her right hand excitedly, clenched her fist and pushed it down, screaming loudly, "Yes...!"

Next, Amanda made another beautiful "drift" and moved the car to Percival Road in the north of the amusement area.Only then did the car slow down, and leisurely turned on the advanced surround car audio.

After driving around the amusement area at high speed for a full lap, Tim also relaxed on the leather-covered seat with snake-embossed embossing on the back of the seat, "How is it? Now, have you considered buying this car? "

Amanda listened to the music and nodded, "Well, of course."

Tim smiled slightly and looked out the car window, "Yes, I also think this car is very suitable for you. But at this price, don't you want to think about it?"

"Interesting! Don't you want to, sell a $63,995 new car?"

"Amanda, you're my friend. Well, I've only seen you twice in three years, but I really wanted to do something for you. You know, when a soldier goes to Iraq...  .”

"Stop it! Well, tell me your opinion."

After thinking about it, Tim said, "Well, I think you can buy a model two years ago. The same V8 engine, 5.4L large displacement, and the same words Shelby GT500 and The image of the Cobra, the aluminum shifter handle, just the right position, quick and precise movement, just a different exterior and interior color throughout the car.”

Amanda smiled and asked, "Okay, what about the '07 price?"

"Well, that's $09 less than the '18,178 model. So, the '07 sale price is $45,817."

"Whoa, so much less? Well, okay."

Twenty minutes later, Amanda drove Tim back to Greystone Avenue, where the sales store was located.When the car stopped, she asked again, "What if I want to buy a black body with red Le Mans racing stripes?"

Tim glanced at the GT500 behind him that had just been tested, with a blue body and white racing stripes, "Well, I have to check it in the computer."

In the end, Amanda bought a new 09 Shelby GT500 for the color she liked, for which she paid $18,178 more.After paying the down payment and the $400 registration fee, Tim handed her the car purchase documents, "Here, take a closer look."

“3个月的临时牌照，两周后将正式车牌寄到家里。首付为1万美元、8.9%的利率、60个月还清贷款、每个月支付的金额是1,097美元。临时牌照期间的保险由经销商负责，之后车主需要自己联系保险公司......”阿曼达认真得翻看着文件内容。

"If you still like the blue one, you can return the black one to me. The rest of the car purchase rules remain unchanged." Tim said.

"Okay. Sorry, I can't have lunch with you today. Well, I have something to do." Amanda said.
