It's only 1 inch too high and I think it's because of you off roaders in middle America.

I've never thought to try upside down! It's strange that it only happens very occasionally.

If the paint on the radio buttons chipped off.

And if you look back at it once or twice as you are walking away from it.

Because they love broken cars obviously. Lol.
There's a great thread like this on terminators at SVTP. Read it one time and you will probably never buy a cobra. Lol

It is strange. I've had more issues with this car than I did in 15 years of driving Fox bodies. But I absolutely enjoy the heck out of it.

I have to go back to the '69 Mustang to come up with a list of issues to compare to this one. I agree, I shouldn't be happy with a car that has some of the quality/reliability issues this one has had. Yet - I look forward to the drive home in 45 minutes.

Man, that's kinda sick. I must need medications or something.
