That was like 12 years ago when I 1st got it that Rick tuned it. Was just tuned couple weeks ago by 04sleeper. Not sure if Rick is still tuning or not. Couldn't be happier with the way it runs now.
33K miles over 18+ years! (y) I just noticed your car was tuned by Rick at Amazon. So I've got to ask. How long ago did you get it tuned? Is he still tuning?

I asked because I used him back in 2003. His tune for my '03 Cobra was perfect. I haven't talked to him in over 13 years. I did a search on Amazon Tuning and came up empty, so I'm thinking he maybe shut down his business. @04sleeper is awesome based on all the great reviews I've seen here. Honestly if I was looking for someone to tune a late model Ford, it would be him hands down.

I did hear a few years back that Amazon tuning was no more. I didn't actually check. Ya Rick did a great job on my first tune for the 1st round of mods. Kevin was awesome to deal with and the car runs like a top.

Date night with the ladyfriend last night. Can’t miss an opportunity to take some photos on a rooftop am I right?

I don't worry about miles, I have like 32k miles on it. So it doesn't really matter. But I live in Minnesota so my days are numbered. Plus I have 5 other cars I need to get ready for storage as well.

@01yellercobra yes it is. I keep it between 58-62 degrees all winter long. And very low humidity. I've seen it go as low as 18%.

Wouldn't that be ok for the E85? Maybe store some this winter and check it in spring to see if its still ok?

I would think so. I always use Lucas ethanol treatment as well. I tested some this spring that sat in a jug for at least 7-8 months and it tested good. Looked a little cloudy. But I ran it with some fresh stuff.

I store my car every year with corn in it since 2018. No issues. I’ve tested my corn 10 months old in VP cans, tested and ran fine. Full tank and I don’t even worry about it.

Nice photos and great backdrop, Dan. And by "date night with the ladyfriend", you meant your Cobra, right? But of course! LOL.
Well of course Bob! My cars are all my ladyfriends. My other half, or side chick is the other thing I spend money on! Both cost me money, but which one wouldn’t mind if I brought twins home? You be the judge ;)

Man, I'd still worry that would upset the Cobra. I drove my buddies hellcat the other day and the next time I jumped into the Cobra it took a couple times before it wanted to stay started. It hasn't done that in a long time. I told it not to worry that it was still my number 1 and it got better.

Who says cars don't have attitudes?

Haha, that’s a fact. Believe it or not my cobra has been helping me during my struggle lately. My hellcats check engine light is on now. Fuel rail pressure sensor. Can you believe that shit? Normally a cobra problem. Get ****ed.

Little before and after photos! Shout out to @FleeMan for the exhaust. Thanks again. Also shout out to my Ladyfriend for surprising me and sanding the entire exhaust down for me while I was busy working on others cars, and working. Hard Work Dedication. She did this all by hand by the way, no power tools.

I’m not saying you should marry that girl but definitely keep her around for a long time, lol.

Glad that it came out looking better than new. @LS WUT
Haha, she sent me this. She said I forgot to wear the gloves. I didn’t think it would be to bad! No doubt man. She’s got at least 2 more exhaust to polish before I give her back. :D

I polished a catback before when I had my Cobra back in 2012. All by hand as well. Its not fun, lol. If I'm guesstimating how much time it took, I'm thinking about 3 hours on each side.
