Is Sam’s Club still stocking the comp orange diecasts or have those days come and gone?

Personally I think $400 is fair if not on the low end for OEM brand new. I’m probably an idiot but I think I paid $700 or $800 for an upper and lower OEM BNIB with the light gray inserts about a year ago. I justified it by it being OEM and not that far off in price from the TMI covers, and I...

LOL, sorry I can’t help it, I’m just frugal by nature.

Thanks guys, I appreciate hearing what everyone else does. Like a lot of you mentioned, I too add air to the tires and disconnect the battery. Any reason for using a battery tender vs disconnecting it? I know from past experience trying to pass emissions that many of those systems won’t be...

Just curious, for those of you who store you car over the Winter, how frequently do you start up the car? I read in one of the newer Mustang owners manual to do it every 15 days or 15 minutes, so that’s what I do, but curious if anyone does/recommends differently and why.

Apparently people don't like what I'm saying here... Did you not see the part about conservative estimate, there's so many factors (sq ft, where you live, what temp you want to keep it at, etc.). OK, so make it a $1,000/year. Opportunity cost goes up to $2.2 million... Again conservative...

Buy a Cobra because it's something you really want and will enjoy, not because of what you will think it'll be worth one day. I'm sorry, but you guys are delusional if you think any of these cars are a good investment no matter how rare they might be. Let's look at the numbers to prove it out...

Good to know - it is a little fishy the seller was so responsive to the other posts but not that one. I'm with you, even if it was an error, that would hurt the value as whoever is willing to drop $35-40K on a car like this wants everything perfect. I pulled the Carfax before buying mine from...
