When I scrolled to the new picture... my first thought. You have changed it to a stable for Clydesdales...
You do realize that many of us look for your next update first thing every time we open our Truck Camper Forum... I'll bet some of our visitors do too!

/\ this x2...everyday I look...my wife hates it when I keep showing her and say..."see my cars need something like this garage"..then i get the look from her lol..You have a very awesome set up!...
are the birds your daily drivers or are you keeping the miles off of them?...I ask cuz they no doubt will go up in value. I want to get a real low mileage one and squirrel it away in my stable!

That's awesome. :B
I assumed there were a few who were following this, but I hadn't really thought about the marital problems it might be causing. You've gotta be subtle when you're trying to get the boss's buy-in on a project like this. Sometime it takes years of work to ease her in to it. :W
That new room over the upper bay is "The Boss's Room". I just wanted a garage, she wanted the new room. Happy wife=happy life......we have a new room. There have been a few benefits though: Project taking too long......not my fault. Project over budget........not my fault. Rain leaking in main house because new room required opening the roof and my plan did NOT........not my fault. I couldn't have planned it better myself if I had tried. :p
The T-birds are indeed our daily drivers, but we don't have long commutes so they are both low miles for their age. The boss's is an '04, has about 40K miles on it, and was the Limited Edition for that model year. It's called a
Pacific Coast Roadster, and only 1000 were built. The body color is Monterey Mist. Hers is totally stock.
Mine is an '05 (which was the 50th Anniversary of the Thunderbird), it has about 50K miles on it, and was the Limited Edition for that model year. All of the '05 T-birds are "50th Anniversary" models. While all the other LE T-Birds of this body style (2002-2005) had special names, this one was simply called
50th Anniversary Limited Edition , and only 1500 were built. The body and top color is Cashmere. Mine is stock except for the addition of a Borla exhaust system. I thought the stock exhaust sound was a little too mild. The nice thing about the Borla exhaust is that it's no louder than the stock exhaust at highway speed.
A little T-bird trivia:
The
2002 LE T-bird was sold through the Neiman Marcus catalog, only 200 were built, and they sold out in 2 hours 15 minutes! A beautiful black body with silver top. I'd love to have one.
The
2003 LE was a representation of the T-bird driven by Halle Berry's character "Jinx" in the James Bond movie "Die Another Day". The body color is Coral, which I have to confess isn't my favorite. The top was White. The car in the movie had a Coral body and top. And, it had Halle Berry driving it, which enhanced it's looks substantially. :C There were 700 built.
