Not Ranked
My Cobra had been in a guys shop for over three years getting upholstry, a paint job and a tune up  ...(Long, horrible story short), the day I finally got to drive it home it ran hot (230 degrees) 6 blocks from the shop and by the time I got within a mile of the house (about a 20 minute drive) the brakes caught on fire  . Luckily, I limped home and parked it without major damage. After another year and a very good auto shop I finally got it back...again. I drove it to our local clubs "Friday Night Eat Out" and it did fine until we got ready to leave...then it wouldn't crank!  The guys were super and stayed to help me jump it off. Bad battery and loose wires were the cause. Thanks to Dwight, Coach and the guys maybe we have it straightened out now....I sure hope so anyway.
