Well, in a way at least. I just found out that my wife and I are expecting another child in July. I can't wait. I have a 4 year old daughter now and she is the light of my life. She likes daddy's new car too. Kids are so much fun. I just bought my Cobra and love it. I guess things work out the way they do for a reason. Guess I'll be selling it to get a mini-van...NOT. Just not a good idea to have car seats in a high performance car. Probably get a Tahoe or a Suburban or something like that. I'll probably drive it on nice weekends and enjoy it for a few months till the time nears. If anyone might be interested in a trade for a newer Tahoe, Suburban, Crew Cab (Diesel or gas) truck PM me. I'll probably be posting in the FS forum in March or April. Don't know whether to be happy or cry. Who knows, maybe things will work out financially where I can afford to buy another vehicle by then and keep the cobra.:cryying:
Sucks when you know the termi has to be sold
- Thread starter jmccown
- Start date
congrats on the news!! family is much more important than a car, but enjoy it while you can...
How about a SC Harley truck?
Lots of room with lots of fun!!
Think about it.
I am proud today to be able to tell my 20 year old son that the first Ford he ever rode in was a 1971 Torino GT with the 429 CJ. He was only 10 days old. He now drives a Mustang GT.
BTW, congrats on the newest family member.

you can probably get more for your $$ if you put it back to stock and sold the aftermarket stuff
how much for the gords heat exchanger?

Termi.....?:cryying:
coild, crew cab? That is cool that your son is a lifetime ford guy. I hope things will later work out to be able to keep my car, really it's too early to say. I'll PM you. I'd love to bring my new little guy/gal home in the cobra but I just don't think a cobra is the kind of car I would want to haul my family around in. But that's just me. My 4 yr old loves to ride in the cobra. The rumble just puts her to sleep whenever I take her for a ride.
Termi...short for Terminator, lol.
Yes, all the Harley F-150's are the Supercrew, meaning four full sized doors and rear seat.
Check it out.

If you still want a fast ride and have a nice SUV, look into a Jeep Cherokee SRT8.
My buddy has one and it's beautiful. Black with leather and loads of power.
With a shot of N20 he was on my bumper down to a mid 11 run.
Congrats on the new addition to your family and Happy Holidays!

I thought about an SRT8 Jeep. One of my friends has one, but the gas mileage is horrible with them. I love the looks of them.
Congrats on the baby and remember the Cobra seats 4. Keep it if able. Hell get a cheap family car and keep the cobra as a toy. You can get a taurus cheap and they have a huge frickin trunk.

why you ''got'' to sell it ? is it payed for .if not are you going to lose money on it?
so keeping it would be the best bet, i would never sell my cobra, if wife was having a kid, sorry honey car stays!
if it's payed for why sell it. unless money is the only issue.

Congratulation on the new baby news! That's great. Hey, you'll have lots of time for performance toys down the road. The kids always come first. I hope you get the best possible price when you sell. Best of luck. Enjoy continue to cherish and enjoy your growing family.
Do any of you guys haul your precious cargo in your cobra? Precious cargo = kids. Just curious.
I purchased the Cobra when my first son was three, having been fortunate to have a "trade in" of my '95 GT (yeah, I know)...we then started a major house project during which we found out about son number two (and Mom was stayed home for almost a year)...My point is that things have a way of working out and you will find out you will do what it takes for the right reasons.
congrats, by the way...it is an exciting, challenging time raising little ones.
jmccown- Yes, I do haul both boys in the back, I just go easier in the turns and full acceleration...I actually get thumbs up from some Dads passing in mini vans or SUB's...I gues I am showing that it is possible to have both...hope it works out for you as well...Take care.

Last time my ex's 3 yr old little girl was in the Cobra she just kept saying "It goes really fast". Great kid... wish I could have kept her but not the ex :lol1:
Sorry you feel you have to sell. Your kids could fit in the back but its just not a practical vehicle for carrying kids on a regular basis.
I feel lucky that I havn't had to sell the cobra because I had kids. If I thought i'd have had to sell it I wouldn't have bought it in the first place. I've only taken my kid in the cobra one time.
