Yep, Nevan has three of them, all in different shades of beige, too, I might add.

But...does Nevan (the good brother) put twin roll bars on it?
Sorry, couldn't resist...

That's why he has three. One with two bars, one with one, and one with none. That way, no one can throw stones at him.;)

Ya see, it's this type of behavior that's forcing Evan to sell CSX4206 and buy a Porsche. He just couldn't stand the constant bullying by you guys.

You should be ashamed of yourselves. :p

I am totally fine with my cheap CSX 'glass car and I have no shame. IMHO, a Porsche is a nice "second car" to the one that really rocks your world!:LOL::LOL:**)

How many of you guys park your cobras near a shopping cart rack at Walmart?
Just asking.

Bernica 02-26-2016 05:27 PM
A Porsche or a Cobra is like bringing home the nice well-behaved mistress vs. the exotic dancer. Both will satisfy you, but which one will you remember a few days later?
OK, I will stop now. This thread was going to sh_t anyways...**)

I'm parked about as far away as I can get. But then, I don't take it to Walmart. When stopping at a restaurant on the way home I find a safe spot and get a seat where I can see it.;)

Those sitting on the fence can have stones thrown at them from both sides. :o

As for how I'd react if my cobra was on fire...
Sh1t! I reckon in the heat of the moment, I'd get out in a panic, run, waving and screaming, till I got to a safe distance, then proceed to stand around flapping my arms like a bamboozaled little fairy. %/
Then after the thing had burnt to the ground, I think back, and wonder why I didn't pull the trigger on that plumbed fire extinguisher I paid extra for. :JEKYLHYDE

I'm reserving my judgement on this dudes actions, till I've experienced it myself.
I'm hoping to never be in that position.

3 liter system with bottle mounted in the trunk. Actuator only to be mounted in the passenger compartment, along with at least one of the three nozzles. 1 nozzle in the engine compartment on the firewall pointed towards the top of the engine and fuel supply, one mounted at the rear where the fuel supply leaves the tank.

MS Pull Cold Fire Super System | NON-Toxic Custom Manual Fire Suppression Unit
Bottle (3 liter) is mounted in the trunk. Actuator handle needs to be installed in an area readily accessible from the drivers seat with you full strapped in. Unless you are going with an automatic set up (it is my understanding it uses a temp sensitive, burn through actuator in the engine compartment), if you cannot reach the handle, then it is useless.

Thanks Bill. Good info!

Guys, the car can be replaced. Life cannot. It's just a car.

And who takes their Cobra to Walmart? :eek::LOL:

Agreed. Insured properly, you just walk away and start a new chapter, heartbroken of course but alive.
I just want to be walking (or running) away after doing what I could to save it! And if I am hurt or somehow unable to get out of the car...well, that thought is most unpleasant!:eek:

Easiest place to use a EBT card !!! Come on get with it :JEKYLHYDE

I'm an Amazon shopper, myself. I have been known to take my Cobra to local Ace Hardware and to the nursery to pick up plants. The grocery store is a common reason to fire up the Cobra.

No Walmarts around here, though.
