You have to take care of family first. Props for being a man about it Chris.
There will be other cars! You only have one family!

Sorry I missed this til now, and that the Cobra is gone.

The one thing I know for fact though is that Chris will always find another Mustang. You have a pretty excellent history of taking care of your business and then finding time for a mustang again down the road, props man Most people would give up on one thing or the other

LOL, this is true. This next time will be the time I finally get to keep one.

They came and picked the Cobra up today.


Farewell Cobra....Farewell...

My old Cobra is finally up for sale at the place that bought it from me.

http://www.vehiclewebpublisher.com/7...s.php?id=75467

They list it having a shifter....technically it has a shifter, but not an aftermarket one as it imply's.

So with the Mustang gone I have just my 97 Grand Prix that I do delivery work with. I hate driving it around on normal days, leaks oil everywhere and is noisy and dirty.

So bought a new car to drive when I am not working, and one I can drive in all weather unlike the Mustang were it only came out on special days.

That's a great compromise between sporty and practical! I'm looking for something similar in the near future. Congratulations on the new ride!

Not sure what section of the forum to post a thread on this car.

The car is a beast though, I haven't felt an automatic that kicked into gear so firm since my old 90 fox with a TCI built AOD. It chirps the tires between shifts and everything.

I guess it has something to do with the 385 lbs of torque as well.

Appears my car might have different exhaust on it. I look at other pictures and other cars tips seem to be different. Also mine seemed a bit louder than I remember a stock one sounding.

Looks like Magnaflow tips? Or maybe Corsa/Gibson?

Yeah I know you can't still buy it new, but I meant out of all the sedans that we've ever had offered to the public, this one tops my list.


Until Ford brings the falcon.

We have its refreshed sibling now, the SS haha. Although I'd love a Charger with the 6spd from the Chally swapped.
