1997 Pacific Green Cobra Coupe / Saddle Leather. 12/10/1996 2537 of 6961 John Hansen / Wayne W.

I measured both cars this morning. The ‘97 Cobra (SN95) distance between factory pinch rail jacking points is approx 58”, and the ‘12 GT500 (S197) was approx. 62”. This means the 5000/7000 TL will work on the SN95, but will need the extensions to fit the S197. So, really the TLX model would...

Ya, I was just hoping one of the many QJ owners could chime in. IF I were home, I would have gone out and measured both cars, but I’m overseas and flying back today (in airport shuttle headed to airport now). I only have so much time off when I get home and i plan to get a lot done on the ‘97...

Just curious, I just ordered the 5000TL, because it seems everyone was out-of-stock with the TLX models. So I was wondering if the TL lines up to jacking points or if the extension is needed? Primarily getting it for my '97, but I'm sure the '12 will see some use too. I know I could just...

16 years. Sold my '97 GT Vert in 2003 and later bought my '97 Cobra off a friend in 2006. He called me one night and said the military was sending him to Japan, and asked if I wanted to buy the Cobra. At first I was just amusing him, but when he said a price that was half of KBB back then, I...

Congrats. I paid off my house last spring. It was a great feeling, to have paid off the 30 year loan in just 10 years. We also paid off the Shelby and the wife's Lincoln last year too. Managed to do all that while packing away the maximum contribution to the company 401k and started a personal...

I agree with this. A few of my friends went into nursing and the schools they chose had some pretty good interning opportunities that let them gain experience at nearby hospitals while also completing their degree. That way, when you're done, you have at least a couple years of experience for...

I would have to say No it doesn't matter too much where she gets her degree, but some institutes have a stigma about them, for example University of Phoenix. Where you went to school might have an effect in the long term. Regardless where you go, when you enter the workforce as a rookie, it...

Luckily they don't salt the roads there, they just use dirt. Makes a mess, but at least it not salt. Granted, the whole country is surrounded by saltwater... As for garages, I'll be buying an apartment that has underground parking, already have my eye on a few new developments. Underground and...

I agree, I think going with the Grand Cherokee is what's going to get me what I want out of a vehicle. Most likely the Overland model because its just as capable as the Trailhawk and has a few more options.. options that I cant live without, like heated seats.

That's definitely the way to roll. My golf trip to Hua Hin in 2018 was awesome because my sponsor provided me with a chauffeured van and a guide/translator. I was able to hire them for non-golf days on my own and like you said, it was damned cheap. I think it was 1000 baht/day (or $40) and that...

What, you never seen snow in Louisiana? It's snowed 3 times in New Orleans over the past decade. One time it even stuck for about 2 hours. lol I think a 911 with a good set of all-season tires would be great. I just looked up some stats out of curiosity. Last year Korea (Seoul) had 30...

Ya, no way I would bother owning a nice car in Thailand. Just get a moped like everyone else. I was actually supposed to be there right now for a golf tournament last weekend, but it was cancelled.

Cayanne Turbo/S would be great and I really like the look of the Mecan, but it has reliability issues from all the shared Audi/VW parts. I can handle the cost of "maintenance", its the cost for "repairs" that I prefer to avoid, if you get my meaning. An early '00s Tacoma 4x4 and a Shelby...

The Telsa S is nice, one of my coworkers has one. But I don’t think Korea is fully set up to accommodate EV charging yet. I’ll have to live in an apartment, since houses are insanely expensive, so I’m not sure there will be a place to plug-in. I’m leaning towards the GC-Overland the most right...
