20 years ago today I prepped, purchased, and drove my 03 home. I had originally thought that I wouldn't put no more than 500 miles a year on it. Well that first year of ownership I put 610 miles on it. Since that time (19 years) it has an additional 1750 miles added.
I retired in 2010 and am...
Like the title says. I don't make a habit of posting on here about my trials and tribulations daily but I got to tell you guys based on my yesterdays activities I'm still exhausted this AM.
I'm getting the cars and trailer ready to attend Ford Takeover in Jackson TN. on the 7th through 8th...
I have a 65" LED Samsung TV that I purchased about 6-7 years ago that has developed a problem with the screen and it's growing like a fungus so I thought I'd pass along this to you guys and see if this has happened to anyone else, and what my options are to correct it.
I'm thinking this is...
As I enter the latter years of my life I thought I'd pass along some advice on lessons I've learned all to often the hard way, particularly regarding trailers with winches.
These are Big Dads' advise regarding winch cables.
Why steel cables are bad.
1. They kink
2. They flatten on the winch...
Just got back from the Sturgis Mustang Rally and let me say NEVER AGAIN. It was a straight shot for us on I90 and the construction in Minnesota and South Dakota was no fun especially traveling at night in the rain pulling 19000lbs. of stacker trailer in narrow one lanes on bridges. We hit some...
Has anybody on here used STP Octane Booster or Boost 104. I'd like to buy some Boostane but can't seem to source it locally. This will be for a onetime use.
Anybody here watch this last night? The first two episodes were on and it reminded me of The Pacific mini series and the movie We were soldiers. It showed the effects war has on those who fight it, and their families who have to endure the agony of not knowing how their loved ones are.
I'm...
Got the 08 6.4 Super Duty out of storage to pull my trailer down to Tim Barths location in Hampshire IL. to do one dyno pull because of a previous theft of my X4 tuner by Modular Power House in Rockford IL. and the replacement tuner needed to have the tunes for 93 and 91 octane reloaded. Anyway...
There will be a new Cars and Coffee starting in Beloit WI. at the Road Dawg Family Restaurant and Pub starting at 7am to 12pm on July 8th and every second Saturday of the month thru October. It's real easy to find, just take exit 185a off of the I90/39 I43 interchange, you can't miss it unless...
I have a 2008 F-350 dually 4X4 that I ordered and bought new in late 2007 with a 6.4L. It was ordered with 4.10 rear gears and extended cab, (soup can). It is currently bone stock with 5600 miles on it.
I trailered my 28 foot stacker to Florida in late 2010 and early 2011. The trailer with...
I was in the mancave yesterday swilling wine and thinking about 03-04 Cobras that are for sale and wondered in what particular order would anyone consider the importance of purchasing one based on the asking price.
For instance, here are mine:
1. Mileage
2.Condition
3.One owner
4.Mods...
Here's my hood vent mod that I just finished, I thought about this 2 years ago but other things had priority.
Anyway, it took about 2 weeks and there was some trial and error, especially with the fitment, in fact I almost gave up on it, but I took a break and pressed on. It was labor...
Like it says, tomorrow is the big day for the Big Dad, I'll be 69 and can still power shift with the best of 'em.
As I was sitting in my man cave with the 03 on jack stands I thought about all the things I've been through in my life, so I thought I'd put some of these thoughts into a post...
Any of you Georgia members near Helen Ga. I'll be there Thursday (16th) for a week. Sorry I didn't post this sooner but I've been busy getting ready for the trip and didn't think about it till tonight.
Just got to thinking this afternoon how often does everyone see 03-04 Cobras in their area? I haven't seen one where I live in at least 5-6 years.
Had my 03 and 86GT at a indoor car show in Monticello Iowa in Feb. and one guy came up and talked to me and said wow, you have a Terminator, I...
I just finished watching a show on the AHC (previous military channel) about stolen vehicles, and they said that 80% of stolen vehicles are never recovered. This got me to thinking how many of the 03-04 Cobras that have been stolen and reported on this site have been recovered.
I remember one...
Well, today I got the Cobra out of the trailer it's been in for the last 3 years. I'm getting ready to have it dynoed for the first time, and I'm getting the new SCT X4 tuner and removing the Diable chip it's had in it since 03.
I've upgraded the fuel pumps to new GT improved versions, and...
I thought there was a thread on this somewhere on SVTP but couldn't find one. Anyway, I ordered a modified FPDM from them a week ago and have requested an update on the status of my order too no avail.
I've PMed them twice and they send my PM back as if they are mocking me with no reply. I...
