One of the things I really admire about you is when you get a car, you hang on to it. You're not like other car YouTubers who buy a car, keep it for a year or two and get rid of it.

One of the best sounding cars ever.
I would NEVER sell that car. The chef's kiss of your collection as far as i'm concerned.

5 years already? Wow does time fly I remember when you got it like it was yesterday.

[JoeSmith-nuoo]

Holy Cow!! 5 friggin years already😲 I remember watching you take delivery of this car and that seems just like yesterday in my mind WOW

I got myself a very low mileage GT 350 not long ago. Drove it from NoCal to SoCal to buy it and drove it down HWY 1. Black on black with a CLUTCH. The V8 and clutch is my fountain of youth. Maintaining it with the help of my son and daughter is priceless. Just showing them on how to change brake pads/rotors to transmission flush to suspension set up in our garage is the best. IMO, it’s the best vehicle for my kids to learn a clutch. Lol! We are going to drive this until the wheels come off.

I have this exact car and I totally understand how it makes you feel. It's such a unique experience to drive it. That sound is intoxicating and it puts a smile on my face every time.

Love the white with the blue stripes. Yes, I noticed the license plate 😊

Anytime Joe makes a video with a Mustang…I stop what I’m doing and watch.

[shawnivy]

This isn't just a car, it's a masterpiece. Definitely a forever keeper Joe.❤😊

Glad to see you still have her! I have mine since 2018 and it’s been 30k miles of fun. You’re right, more people are prone to complain than praise when it comes to engine issues. Sure they’re there, but keep and eye on the oil consumption (mine doesn’t have any), let the engine warm up before getting on it, and keep up with all fluid changes and your instances of any failure will be severely reduced. I’m willing to bet many that had engine issues never kept an eye on all of that.

I watched your videos when the 2018 WRX was out, loved your review, and bought that for my first car, and after 6 years of ownership, I wanted to move on to something new. Then I saw you made a video about the GT350R after you purchased one. Watching the review solidified my decision as to what’s next. Recently purchased a 2020 GT350 in grabber lime and could not be happier. Thank you for the videos!

[symplman]

Wow Joe. I remember when you gave us that emotional video of having received the Shelby. Glad you still have it. Keep having fun Joe!

Manual 5.0 owner here, shelby is king they look so good ! Im keeping and modding, wrenching, driving mine forever

I recently purchased a 2020 GT350 Heritage Edition and you're so right Joe, this car makes me smile every time I think about driving it and I can't sleep the night before a car day!! I was looking for an R Heritage but the two things that scared me (besides the current price) is the rims and the splitter. Fortunately, I was able to find a low mile, one owner, full warranty until 11/30/2027 base 350 Heritage car that included EVERYTHING from new...I couldn't resist adding this incredible machine to my collection! Thanks again for all of your great content Joe!!

Great to see you still having that car Joe(New York Brother) Really enjoyed the ride even at 81 years. Would loved to have had one. Have a Charger RT that I have had 7 years. Keep the great reviews coming Joe both you and that lovely wife of yours.😎

[svtpower]

Glad to see you still have it. If I was you I would NEVER sell that car. I used to watch all your Shelby reviews when I was looking for one. I’ve had my 2018 gt350 for 2 years now and I absolutely love it. It’s the kinda car you keep for like because like you said it will never be replicated.

[jpalmer]

I watched your delivery video multiple times. Your reaction seemed so heart felt and genuine that I couldn’t help feeling some of that emotion myself.

I always hoped one day I could get a heritage 350 myself although it didn’t seem possible then. Fast forward to 3 months ago and I became the owner of a Heritage 350 (not an R) and I could not be happier. Thanks for keeping the dream alive for me sir!! And you BETTER keep it!!!!

[AmiKochlany]

5 years have been passed, Joe ?
Unbelievable how time flies……
I still remember the day you received that stunning car and how much you were enjoying your ride.
I really appreciate the fact you still have it. It looks so good and gorgeous.Keep on going man 🏆🏆🏆🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨

[adama]

I, for one, am so glad that you've held on to this insta-classc! Keep me reviews coming, as I've quite forgotten your entire livery lol. As always, it's a special time when Lori gets to shoot the video. Keep up the great work!

[ThePaintballParadise]

We both know she's a keeper. Congratulations Joe! I had a 2018 gt350, stellar engine.
