This is me too. No place to blast around here anymore with all the traffic.
Don't ever sell your Terminator..... you will just buy another one

Yeah that’s for sure. I’ve got to do my datalog runs at 2-3 in the morning mostly to be able to do Wor pulls without the party pooper police or the traffic. Sarasota has changed so much in the last 2-3 years it’s becoming overwhelming numbing to remain here.
That’s so accurate on many different levels. I’ve gained so much knowledge, and have met some great guys from here. Most of them I talk with daily whether that be on here, or we text eachother. I know SVTP gets a lot of flack because it’s like a brotherhood however once you get in and you put your big boy panties on it’s such a great place to talk to like minded individuals.
I always did mine on the I-75 bridge over the Peace River early around 7 or so. Long enough to get up to WOT in third, fourth, no way. I live close to the river.
Sorry to hear that. What if you tried selling it outright? You have a few foxes so a 11-14 Vert with a coyote would probably be a sweet pick up? If not maybe she’ll enjoy it more when you fix make things better with it.

I've thought about possibly selling it outright. But we paid 5k more than what others would probably pay for it. I think she would enjoy a 11-14 vert with a coyote in it. The purpose of buying a convertible with a automatic was so she could drive one. She still hasn't driven this car, only a few rides.
The engine bay is what bothers her and myself the most. For a low mileage car, there seems to be a lot of corrosion and rust on engine parts. To the point that I would have to start removing parts like the upper intake at minimum. I already started buying used parts like fuel rails and fuel line that runs up to the motor.
Basically I need to decide how far I want to take it. I do like the car because it's a 7-up. And I can work on it at my leisure.

I think the 03-04 will end up like the Boss 429. They made many more Cobras, but their is more similarities than you think.
Wouldn't it be crazy if these cars in 20 years are 250k+ like those Boss 429 cars.

OK, new ideas around my house that we talked about. My wife doesn't want me to sell the 03. I'm going to retire in June, or first of the year. We've known this for a while. Need to redo the pool area, that's a given. Anyways, keeping the Cobra, selling my 18 150, her 04 Escape and maybe grabbing a Maverick or similar. We'll only need 1 vehicle and I won't need a full size then. I can get real wheels and tires for the Cobra as a trade off. Hey, @TORQUERULES , still like yours, any regrets?
Got any pictures of the F150, and miles on her?
20K.
That’s the sweet spot. Still very low for a 20+ y/o car, but not so low that you feel guilty driving it.
Yeah, oil has been changed at stupid low mileage intervals. Been running Redline for a few years. I've put maybe 500 miles on it in 5 years, seriously. Honestly glad she told me to keep it. Once I retire I'll fix the air and window and drive it, especially if I have some cool wheels. I'm sure you guys have seen it before. Not gonna blower swap, the 2.76" is plenty of fun for my old ass.
Ah ok I get that. Yeah I wouldn’t wanna lose my ass on something like that. Maybe if you get the used parts and still aren’t happy you could try to see what it could bring privately? If you feel as if you already paid to much yeah you probably need to decide how much you wanna put in it. Good luck brother.

That's awesome Brad! Who knows, maybe once you retire you'll put a few more miles on her. I love MG and think it's an underrated color.

Yuppers, I actually enjoy driving it because it's not perfect, if that makes sense?
I'm putting new tires on it this spring. Current ones are super old and I think it makes the car feel "bouncy" or "shaky" at lower speeds.
Seems I can find 4 225/55/16 for around 300 bucks on eBay.

I get that, I’d like to have a 96-98 Cobra vert I could do that with.

I did answer this when someone else asked in depth a few pages ago so I wont go into quite as much detail but the summary is it just was not what I like. I knew the differences these cars have over the Cobra's and what they excel at but in the end I just really like the brute force power of the Cobra's and I could not get past how the 350 was so boring down low. Fast car that handles awesome and does so many things well but overall it just wasn't what I like. I like to have power at the tap of the throttle and not have to go through thousands of RPM's to start feeling any grunt
Love it! It's kind of a Goldilocks vehicle. Does a lot of things right.
