Jeff,
Congratulations - I assume this is the same car that we saw pictures of a few weeks back? I said it then and I will say it again; AWESOME, truly a beautiful automobile.
I believe someone described it as 'eye candy' or 'Cobra Porn' - I must say, I agree. So when will you come out a show it off? There is a snake & eggs tomorrow morning - nothing like a Cobra ride early in the morning to get your heart pumping - please join us.

Give me the keys, I will take it for a spin for you. Once I get done, there will be nothing done to it that has not already been done, and you will feel very comfortable taking it for a spin. Nothing a good body dolly can't knock out of aluminum :LOL:

Jeffkmp I am familiar with the anxiety you have just gotten over. Congrats on the car it's looks great and should run even better with that sweet setup. I am looking at October delivery for mine and the waiting is a some wonderful stress.

I used to feel somewhat the same regarding my Hi-Tech 427 S/C purchased as a roller in 1994.

Subsequently I realized I should drive it, and when:

it gets dirty, you wash it.
something breaks, you fix it.

We only live once. Enjoy it!

Jeff,

Give it to me I'll put it on a trailer and take it to the track

See what the 1/4 mile times are :D

jeffkmp 08-13-2004 04:45 PM

cant do breakfast this sat but next sat for sure!will drive it on sunday and so far only started it in the garage.Still a little nervous.

mikiec 08-13-2004 05:00 PM

It's good to be nervous...

These toys of ours can bite us in a heart beat. Take your time get used to the car. Drive it as though you have an egg under your foot.

Most of all enjoy it.

Stay out of the loud pedal when the wheels are not pointed straight, at least for now.

Jeff,
So where are you planning to go on Sunday?-- You want some company? If the time is right you could talk me into driving along side - though I may have a little trouble keeping up ( I have a small block- not something I like to admit in public)
I believe you said you were on the North Shore someplace? So where do you want to go to?

Rich Musson

jeffkmp 08-13-2004 07:13 PM

you tell me .I live on the north side so anywhere up there is great

RichMusson 08-14-2004 04:20 AM

Jeff
Sorry I did not answer you last night - my computer went down.
I have this wireless connection - worthless piece of cr@p. I guess it's too far away or something, anyway I will sent you an e-mail
