Haven't been on this site in a few months. Still driving my Cobra, every day. I'm just over 164,000 miles as of now.
Christmas eve I drove 12 hours to FL to visit family. The Friday before I left I had 2 new tires out on. While they were installing the tires they noticed a tie rod needed to be replaced. That night I was out and went to pass someone on the highway and popped a spark plug. This is the 3rd time one has popped. :cuss:
Got the car back Monday morning around 10. Left a few hours later for FL.
The drive was just under 900 miles each way. I put almost 400 miles on the car while I was down there.
12 hours before I was going to leave to come home, that same spark plug popped. This time busting the coil pack cover. Luckily I was able to get a mechanic to fix it the next day.
I ended up putting 2,182.4 miles on the car in the 8 days I was gone. I actually got just over 22 miles per gallon on the trip. By far the best mpg I've ever gotten with this car.
OTHER UPDATES:
I still enjoy driving this car. But truth be told I wish I had the money to get something else. I want a slightly used ZO6. I'm just ready to drive something else. And at this point I'm repairing something every few months.
Anyway, just thought I'd pop on and give an update. Hope you guys are doing well. :beer:

OTHER UPDATES:
- Back in the summer I popped a spark plug.
- Also in the summer, the idler pulley on the back belt busted while on the highway.
- A couple of months ago the idler pulley on the front belt busted.
