Sunny n clear here, play safe out there guys

 

Morning all... Over the hill on another week.

We had about 4" in total. The short drive home last evening was ugly, near 0 visibility for much of it.

Randy, I guess you're ok... Taking pics of the bare floor with no interesting object would be a lot worse...

I've itched to take the Cobra down the track but haven't for a few reasons. Its somewhat rare and collectable, its really, really mint, its a convertible, its a standard, and tires are expensive. I'd really like to find a nice Fox body to build a motor for. Have my eye on one right now in Winterpeg, trying to decide whether or not to drop the coin on it. 9g for a 1988 car just doesn't feel right. Momma Bear likes it, already has given her blessing on it (not that I'm the guy who seeks permission before every purchase, but its good to know she shares a passion with me outside the bedroom).

Stay safe out there boys, happy shoveling.

 

Hey Y'all

 

ORRR I could be one of those people posting selfies every 5 minutes haha like that would ever happen... I understand about the Cobra, I use to do burnouts and drift my truck a lot, then I bought some nice tires. At $440 a piece I think I'll keep them in good shape lol. 9g for a foxbody?!?! Have the ad for it?

Its a beaut in the pics. I'm just about to flip a coin about hooking up my trailer and going to see it. If its as nice as the pics show, it would be a winner, price is the price...lol...

 

Goooooood morning all.
Woke up to a pile of the white stuff this morning!!!

My daughter is suuuuuuper lucky today. It's their class ski trip today. Should be an awesome day for them. She's running around bouncing off the walls........See if I can get a shovel in her hand on the way out to the bus lol.

Tks for the good luck with the hernia thing guys. Dr gave me crap, 10lb weight limit and put on the "urgent" list. Should be a loooooong slow motion shoveling day today.

Sherm, those era of stangs are my FAV!!! I have to buddies I went to school with that still have their GT Cobra's to this day. Garaged and still take them out once and awhile. They're black with the red stripe, one has the turbine rims the other the 89 rims (4-5spoke). Pretty much everyone and their dog had a 5.0 back in the day around here. I was cruisin in my 71 Camaro during that phase and wanted a 5.0 in the absolute worst way. I wish ya luck finding one!! Saw an add in Carman with a partially built/started sleeper for 6-8G......

 

Happy Thursday mornin'all. I just barely made it out of the driveway today. Blowin like crazy. Good thing the snow is soft. I guess I'll spend the better part of the evening cleaning the driveway. Curtis, shovel? that's for the kid's. You do have a blower or blade? Our accounting dude just came in swearing like a sailor about the weather. He fell and twisted his knee leaving his house. thanks god next week is supposed to hover in the 0C range. have a great day guy's.

 

Good morning!
Some days I fell like selling my 86 GT and looking for another 88-93 like the 88 Cobra I had. This red 88 you found is sweet Sherm. looks like a lot of the work has already been done so I think that`s worth a few extra $`s.
Good morning Gerry, Randy and Grant.
Hopefully it`s a nice day for your daughter's trip today, is the snow storm over?
It`s easy to over do it so be very careful shovelling snow today!
Yup, I still miss my 88 Cobra yrs later, I should have never sold it.

 

That is a beautiful car, too bad its not a convertible to match your Cobra though.

Speaking of rare cars, I know most of you will laugh at this but when I was 16 I almost bought a 1991 Dodge Shadow Turbo Convertible. Now that may sound like a cheesey car but it was a 5 speed manual and I found out that there was only 562 of them made with the manual. It also weighted almost nothing and had 150hp, but it ended up needing a whole bunch of work so I passed on it.

Hopefully the weather is good to your daughter for her sky trip. A buddy of mine that lives in Carman has an 86 Mustang with a semi built engine, its got about 275hp and it goes pretty good. Not the fastest car in the world but its not the slowest either, but I'm sure I could take him in the 1/4 mile with my truck. Be careful shoveling Curtis, don't need you hospitalized because you decided to try and be super man with a hernia lol.

Grant, is your new Edge awd or just fwd? I'm sure you have said this before but is that a shared vehicle between you and your wife or do you have your own vehicle?

What colour was your Cobra Morris? Why don't you buy the one Sherwin is looking at??

 

I shovel around the edges of everything, wood sheds, mancave, house, trailers, sleds, truck ect then when it's this heavy I grab the neighbors Kubota. I've maintained all his toys since we've lived here and he's really really good to me. Being parapalegic, he's limited on some things but for the most part him and I compete for having the nicest groomed yards in the hood. He's out there everyday tinkering, working, gardening and pretty much anything he can do in a chair. Amazing man, very good friend we just about lost last summer. So he's one of those guys who can call me 24/7 and i'll be there for him no matter what.
Couple years ago he was working on his grass with his old Deere 345. Going up the hill he flipped it over himself. Thank god he was ok, but I tell ya, that guy pushes things to the limit!! Can't tell ya how many times he's called to get him unstuck in the yard
So if I'm out working chances are very good that the wife and I come home to a blown driveway. He's like a brother from anotha *****!!

Yep, storm basically hit overnight. Not alot of wind but being out there shoveling, we got alot of freaggen snow. Been making small trips out, frustraiting as heck, never mind walking by the sled knowing I already pushed the limit at the Demo ride the other day
School bus came so i'm assuming their ski trip is still a go!! This is one trip I would have def volenteered for!!
That's a beautiful stang Morris. Hopefully Sherm finds a mint one to build!! I'd love to have some extra cash to pick up one as a weekend grocery getter. If memory serves me correct with the buddies cars in the past, they weren't that bad on fuel either being the best power to weight ratio factory car of its day!!!

 

Hernia's not that bad, it's like a fart button. It pops out, I push it in and ..........

 

Grant, is your new Edge awd or just fwd? I'm sure you have said this before but is that a shared vehicle between you and your wife or do you have your own vehicle?

The edge is AWD, and is Dawn's DD. I drive a Pontiac Montana POS.

 

That would still suck lol, but not as bad as I expected. Hope I never have a fart button lol.

I am so sorry to hear that Grant lol. A co-worker of mine has two of those, he likes his older one better than his newer one. I make fun of him often for having two minivans lol

 

Wow is the driver of the Prius a ********! I would have got in front of him and slammed my brakes on!

 

That's awsome Randy!! They way i'm feeling right now brutha, after getting the news from the wifes roll over in the spring, I'd be smashing into every douchbag autopac/MPIC vehicle I can find!!! Start getting my moneys worth with those ignorant puss nuts!!!! Man, i'm in the mood to do something reaaaaaly stupid right now.......
