It was a very nice morning but that`s about to change with winter coming back here. 
My too, just wish it would hurry up!
Sick days and over time doesn`t add up. 
That`s what Cobras are made for! 
I hate freezing rain, no doubt the buses stopped running.
We're in for a storm later on, snow and high winds.
[QUOTE=ATV PRO #11;14182060]91 w/565,000 till tranny broke(5 spd). Blew on the way to a race in Brandon, made it there in 4th. Managed to get it rolling after the race and made it all the way home (3hours) till it piled up right where I stopped. Bought it used with 30,000 on it. AWESOME reg cab 2wd with a 4.0 in it. Greatest truck i've ever owned!! Oil, tires, brakes
My 2008 however.....SUCKED!! No power with a 4.0. 13.5MPG.
Sherwin, one of my customers from last season who i'm doing a garage reno on once healed is SELLING HIS 89 GT COBRA. Black with the red stripe (everyone remembers those ones) He hasn't put it up for sale yet but was IMO hinting at a barter!!! He's owned since new, never winter driven, stored inside always. I have this feeling deeeeeeep down in the gut, I WANT THIS CAR!!! Or wait, it's itchy stiches
QUOTE]
I have a 98 Ranger, decent power and the fuel mileage isn`t terrible, 22 mpg city/country driving which just slightly better than my 93 F150/300-6, AOD at 20 mpg.
If it`s a decent deal I`d certainly go for that 89 Cobra, sweet ride.

Wow... bunch of chatty Cathy's here... 
Happy Thursday all, another week on the way out. Summer's one step closer. Seen a guy out hot rodding in a little short box chevy yesterday. Seems as though he thought it was a pretty cool ride. I think summer will find him looking at a Cobra's taillights at some point

After being laid up since Jan, FINALLY have something to possibly look forward to other than returning to work!!!! May be jumping the gun at bit here, gut's telling me otherwise tho!!

There's a closed section of highway that is accessible and has decent pavement. I will not hesitate to take a challenge out to that strip. Its over a mile, so perfect for 1/4 mile runs. May be an expensive year on tires...
89 Cobra would be sweet. I notice that red one on Kijiji in MB is no longer advertised... Unfortunately it isn't in my garage either...

Well it's a decent day out there, calling for snow tonight. Probably get ugly cause when the call for 1-3cm it usually means 6-8" here at home.
Have a great Throwback Thursday!!

I test drove a Wrangler a while back. In stock form I was very disappointed in the performance. I couldn't see it beating Lance Armstrong in a race.

Howdy gang.
Sunny but a chilly day here, no snow which is a bonus.
Yesterday just before I came down with a bad cold I sold my 93 F150, my truck ''fleet'' is getting smaller.

Morning everyone!!!
Morris, hope ya feel better!! Love those old deep dish rims on the older trucks!!
Randy, that sucks you have a guy phoning in all the time there. Just one of those "Onion" guys taking advantage of all the slack their givin. Do you end up getting stuck working alone when a guy phones in?
Hoping to work out a deal on the car!! I've always wanted a late 80's stang or to find an older 70-73Camaro like my old ones from back in the day!!
Enjoy the weekend guys!!!
Usually the outcome is the other way around as the i6 jeeps torque numbers come in at a lower RPM than alot of the full size v8 gas/diesels out there.........True story.
