Great review Joe, absolutely beautiful spec. Can’t wait to see more of the GT350R. One recommendation as your channel grows, I think it would be really cool to implement something like Joe’s “Zonk Score” where you tally up the zonks for each car you review so we can compare cars in terms of their feature set and their shortcomings. In other words, the lower the “Zonk Score” the better the car. I think it would be a cool little element that would help set your channel apart even more from other car reviewers and increase watch time as viewers would be more interested to watch the videos till the end to find out the “Zonk Score.” Again, just a suggestion. Thanks for all you do. You are killing it!

It's awesome to hear your excitement and appreciation of your GT350R Heritage Edition...car enthusiasts understand, but even non-car enthusiasts can understand the feeling of achieving things after years of hard work, effort and dedication. Congrats again Joe!!

It was the fall of 2017, i was turning 50 the following June, and it was time to get my rearend back in a sports car. I was looking at Civic Type Rs, and stumbled on your video about getting rid of your Type R, and that put me back on the Mustang. My first brand new car was an 88 Notchback Oxford white red interior, so to commemorate that 30 yr anniversary i ordered a 2018 PP2, in of course Oxford white. I would have loved a GT 350, but the $$ prohibited that. My PP 2 arrived 2 weeks before my 50th birthday, and iv’e had that same smile you have now for the last 2 yrs. love the channel, love the content, glad i could be part of it for you. I hope everyone can experience whatever it is that they yearn for in life. It took me a while, needs of the family taking priority, but kids are grown and it was time and it was well worth the wait. Congrats to you and Lori and Best of luck with the car!!
