SHARON PIERCE THE BEAST - 2020 SHELBY GT500

CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO

MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!

Owning a Shelby GT500 is one of the greatest things to happen to me. I have always had a passion for cars. This passion was instilled in me by my father at a very young age. I remember seeing a picture of a Mustang my father owned before I was born and I immediately fell in love with the car. I would tag along to cars shows with my dad hoping to have a car someday worthy of taking to car shows for people to admire.

If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!

I finally have that car, a 2020 Grabber Lime GT500. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would own a car like this. I take Carroll Shelby’s advice about how these cars are meant to be driven and I drive it every day as long as Colorado weather permits. I love to take my car to as many car shows that I can. The thrill I get seeing people admire my car is incredible. I love talking to people about my car. I have had people ask me “Why do you drive a car like that?” and “What made you buy a car like that?” My initial response was “Because I can” but then I follow it with the story about my dad. They then get to see the passion and understand why. My car has been featured in a local calendar, has been on display at a local vehicle museum, and has been featured in a previous edition of STANG Magazine. We even won a trophy for the “Most Unique” at the 2022 Colorado Shelby Rally.

Being a part of the Shelby family has opened doors I never knew existed. I have developed friendships with amazing fellow Shelby owners. I have been a part of an exclusive Shelby Rally in Colorado. I am also expanding my knowledge of Carroll Shelby and all he has done and continues to do in the automotive industry.

I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.

The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!

Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
