Awesome weather...took the Cobra out again.

Took the Cobra out last night for a bit...I'll say it again, damn this car pulls like a mofo with this new power. I can only get traction in 3rd gear right now and it pulls like a freight train. Cobrafreak was with me and said at 5 grand it just nails you to the seat. Just went down Hall Rd. then Gratiot to top of the tank. Saw another Cobra out there...sounded good...but when I hit it at 40mph and just lit the tires up he backed off...haha. God it felt good to get the Cobra out.

Especially after trading in the Pacifica Friday afternoon for a Town and Country minivan for the wife.

Got out of my lease 9 months early and they paid it off plus came down on price after figuring in the employee discount (dad). Repeat customer with the guy and he knew I was going to walk unless I left there with the price I wanted.

Anyway....

We went out around 8:00PM. Down Hall Rd to Gratiot then to Harrington to fill up...then back down Gratiot to Hall. I live right off of Heindenrich and Hall Rd.

Thinking about going out in the next hour or so for a little cruise. Sun is out and mid 40's again.

Have fun with all the salt dust you're covering the inside of your wheels, under carriages, and body of your car, in.

Cocaine's a helluva drug!

Al...STFU. There isn't/wasn't any salt anywhere on the fuckin road.
No wonder you never drove the Cobra when you had it....by your calculations it would have been August before the roads were safe to drive.

Took it out again yesterday afternoon along with SaleenOutlaw and CobraFreak. It was 50 degrees yesterday...hell, it was warm enough where the tires would hook in second gear if I was careful. I don't think they put down salt on the road in over 3.5 weeks anyways...plus it's rained since then and washed it away. There were a few cars out yesterday but no one was wanting to play. Time to wipe the car down and put the cover on....I'm sure the bad weather is right around the corner.

Yup, I don't see us going much longer without a helluva snowstorm, this winter has been wierd as hell so far.

Krazybones · 01-29-2006, 12:35 PM

I took the chevelle out, but only in the subdivisions.... I just wanted to gut it nice and warm then put her back away.

Camaro is still covered asleep.

Right...there's no salt on the roads now.

If you believe that then you're dumber than you look. I hope you enjoy knowing that that salt is eating away at your Cobra right now. HAHA!!

Wish I had my car together so I could take it out-or at least do a burnout in the driveway!
