I don't think anyone could pay me enough to do that to the poor Cobra.

 

Agreed! My first Capri was my daily driver in Chicago one winter and I have had a second car ever since. But it was quite fun at times! Did a 360 at Fulerton and Ashland that winter!

 

sounds good Chris!

as much fun as snowy drifts would be, it's just not really worth it!

 

I did enough fair share of snowy drifts in my 65 Mustang. Was my first car and in high school so I had to drive the car all year round.

 

You still have it? Shes a beauty!!

 

I did the same with my "83 hatch. It was fun though. Your old '65 looks sharp.... So does your Cobra!!

 

Wish I did. But, if I had to choose between the 65 and the 03 I would keep my 03 Cobra.

 

I had no idea you had a 65 Chris, that's sweet!

 

It was my first car. So I'm 30 now so 14 years ago I bought that. Everyone said I was crazy for spending $4300 bucks on that car. It was a bare minimum option car but it was fantastic condition. Owners claimed it only had 56k miles, and after seeing most of the original parts still on it I tend to believe them.

Interior of the 65.


Two years later I bought another mustang to go with it. a 1990 GT vert.


Had a nice built engine, bought that car for $4000.


The problem was the 1965 was slow but reliable, the 1990 was fast but unreliable.

So then the somewhat downturn in my cars I sold both and bought a 99 GT.



So I had that for a couple years and then I had to sell it for financial reasons. A few years after that I got the itch and bought a beater of a 99 GT. I shouldn't have when i did but whatever.



Sold that one like 6 months after buying it and drove a 2007 Focus for a while and then I got my current Mustang Cobra.

 

Sold the Cobra.

Something that I said I would never do. But never means anything except when it comes to caring for my family. I have had some financial struggles this past year and I have pushed off selling the car but it really is a monkey(yet one I love) on my back that really has to go for now.

The pleasure of owning a 03 Cobra has been amazing and will be my first choice when I purchase a Mustang in the future. Its not completely bad as I sold it for about 3k more than I paid for it. Really shows how strong the value of these cars are.

Car is still in my garage for now, but will likely be picked up within a week.

So a week from now I will be just like Gary, 2003-04 Cobraless...

 

Wow that was unexpected. You have to do what is best for you in the long run. I hope you are in a position to buy another one soon

 

Darn, sorry to hear! Hope the Cobra is going to another good owner! Perhaps your 'Coyote 5.0' badges will help fuel your next purchase!

 

Surprised.


Now you're going to have to learn to drive SRA.

 

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do


You have to take care of family first. Props for being a man about it Chris.

 

Sorry to hear Chris. Hope you can get back in another one soon.

 

Thanks guys. I will get another Cobra in a couple years. But for the Mustang 50th show I'm going to need a ride!

 

good on you man. I pray it won't be long before you're back in another one

 

I'm sure Gary can hook you up.

 

this. very much this.
