... and buying a 1998 Cobra. My wife said it was one or the other. So I made the "hard" choice and bought the Cobra. I pick it up this Tuesday or Wednesday. I just couldn't pass up a Cobra for $6000. Here are some pics of the car.

Well its good to see you’re home bud 
great find with the 98 snake. $6K is definitely a good deal!! she looks great. the yellow paint and cobra R wheels are perfect together. and you just gotta love that four valve mod motor lol. any mods planned yet? cant wait to see more updates on it.

Those are not "R" wheels....they are factory '98 Cobra wheels....which are similar to but not the same as "R" wheels
Nice find and good deal! I think that's the cheapest I have seen a '98 Cobra in that condition sell for to date!

That depends what you want out of it. The basics, Cold air intake, shifter, exhaust will wake it up. If you want gears that will wake it up even more. It all depends how far you want to take it and how you are going to use it(ie: daily driver vs. weekend toy)
