oh man...I'm more pissed than you could imagine..or maybe you can, lol. But, I've always been one to realize that complaining about (most) things won't fix them. There were no witnesses and the only thing I know about the other car is it was tan and looked like a Grand Cherokee...but I'm not 100% sure on that. Nothing much I can do but move forward, right?

I'm gonna miss my car no doubt...it's only been to one shop and that was for an alignment. All the work on it was done by me. I put so much time and money into this car that it's like a kid, ya know? I mean there were days I was out in the rain changing the heads at 2 in the morning in a parking lot so I could get to mustang week. I'll never get back what I put into it....

but, now I can look forward to something bigger and better.

I'm also still in somewhat of surreal state right now. I shouldn't have walked outta that one...and it ended up that nothing happened to me at all. Looking at the two poles I went in between..it's prolly about 20 ft between them. I was going in at an angle and looking at it...that's gotta be a 1 in a million thing. I mean...it'd suck trying to parallel park between those poles.

It's like the cop said...a foot and a half to the left and my funeral most likely woulda been this week. A few feet to the right and there's a good chance I'd be in a hospital right now.

and...the next cobra I get...will get these emblems ;] haha. No doubt

will do man. Overall most the parts are in good condition so parting out should be fun. I'm gonna keep a lot of it though like the fuel pump and what not but I'll be sure to let you know what I have/what I need.

and yup, one more 94-95 cobra gone :[

haha, wow, small world. It was actually PFSC (palmetto state ford club). And that definitely was Kev's tent. I was over at his house not too long ago. He got his back surgery done and is recovering.

EDIT: whoops, thought you were talking about the dyno sheet. When I took those other pics I was at a carshow at the texas roadhouse area...I forget who hosted it though. I'm with PFSC which has christine (I'm sure you know here..she's the one that got the cripple dog show together) and Kev as the two top peoples.

thats what it is, i was thinking they changed the name of it but couldnt remember to what. i joined smaf (southern mustang and ford) at the first meet they ever had, and i stayed until all the bs started. havent really seen much of them since i came to the citadel but i might have to swing by a meet and see if they got all their stuff together now, i met alot of cool people out there. And yea, i saw the sofa super store or whatever it is in the background and figured it had to be with them. If you are out at any functions with them shoot me a pm with the time n location, i might swing by, keep an eye out for an orange and black 94 cobra

awesome. SMAF is still around and I hear they got their stuff together. PFSC actually got started up about a year and a half ago. They're a cool group of ppl and always willing to help...no drama haha.

palmettostatefordclub.com is the website. They have a calendar with all the events in the area. Also, this saturday is their first cruise in at mcalister's deli at the tanger outlets. It's from 5-7...I won't be able to attend that because of work but it's free and there's gonna be a few other clubs from the area. It may be kind of small now cuz it's our first one. You should swing by there....there's some crazy cars out there.

also...there's a guy named Chris that has a 95 cobra hardtop :O.....I've been trying to get it from him but he won't sell.

I'll keep in touch though
