The new toy...

Haha no one got to drive the Cobra.... I'm thinking black wheels, tint the windows, and black out that red stripe and I be rollin gangsta style...

It is the inline six version. I'm not going to go all out on the off road stuff. At least right now... It will look pretty plain for a while but I just wanted something to drive in the winter and ON the beach...

Just got some new tires for it today at Les Schwab's. I also got some old Jeep aluminum wheels that are a bit oxidized to say the least... They were cheap though. This way I can swap the studded tires by myself come winter. Wondering if I should paint the wheels black or try to polish them back to acceptable looks?

It is a manual 5 spd. The automatic is more popular but since I don't need to tow anything major I'd figure its ok. Get a little better mileage and the weight is less. On the way back we stopped at a weigh station and it weighed in at 3450 with me in it. Wish my Cobra was that light... Has a slight overheating problem, going to replace the radiator rather than flush it. I dont think the fluid has been changed for ten years. Probably all corroded in there so just do it now and get it over with. Radiators are pretty cheap for these things. Other little things are replacing some busted tail lights and reflectors and I bought a new front bumper for $50. Just for cosmetics. It will be a good winter beater and snow play day rig...
