My Cobra is powered by the original 305 horsepower version of the 4.6-liter V-8 with 32 valve overhead cam motor. The car has never been driver in the rain or snow. I am the 2^nd owner, the 1^st owner is my bother in law who only put 6200 miles on it for its 1^st 8 years. Currently is has 30,700 miles. It is number 1873 of 3480 made and 1 of 979 triple black convertibles made. In 2006 through 2008 I upgraded and replaced the following

· Steeda Caster Camber Plates

· Ford Motor Sport Springs

· Jack Roush Shocks and Struts

· New Ford Motor Sport plugs and plug wires

· Cobra grill emblem

· BF Goodrich G Force tires 255 40ZR17

· New Ford Motor Sport Clutch and Pressure Plate (two years and less than 500 miles)

All original parts will be supplied with the car, even the original tires if you want.

The Cobra has a clean Carfax however, it does indicate a mileage inconsistency. This is due to an incorrect entry by the smog check technician into the computer system. The hand written copy from Smog Stop shows the odometer reading at 30,146 which is correct. The technician unfortunately typed the mileage as 60,146 miles on the Smog Check Vehicle Inspection Report. This wasn’t realized at the time.

The car was stolen on 3/19/2013 and recovered on 3/21/2013. The list of items replaced include:

· Keyless Entry Module

· AB Switch assembly direction indicator

· Cup Holder

· Switch plates on both doors

· Lower trim panel under the steering column

· All of the trunk panels

The only article still missing is the boot for the convertible top. Both the front and rear bumpers were removed and painted.

The cars paint is a #1 with only a very small blemish, less than 1/8” round on the trunk lid. The right side skirt does not fit flush. The interior is in very good conduction and has never been smoked in. The car drives very very good. It has not been driver for the past three years as I am now an owner of a 2012 Boss 302 LS that takes up my free time. So if you want a very good and clean SVT COBRA this is it.

Rivian R1T, Mini Cooper Electric owners happiest with their EVs

Tue, Feb 28 2023

The J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Ownership Study is out, and there's change at the top. With the swelling adoption of electric vehicles in the U.S. over in the past two years especially, the third year of the EVX study changes focus to first-time EV buyers. Those two factors encouraged change at the top of both premium and mass-market segments. Among premium EVs, the Rivian R1T pickup scored overall victory in its first year of eligibility with a satisfaction score of 794 out of 1,000. The Tesla Model 3 takes second place with 759 points. Tesla had won the top two premium spots in the study in 2021 and in 2022. The average score in the premium segment was 756. The Tesla Model Y (754), Audi E-Tron (735), and Polestar 2 (724) filled out the list of the five eligible models this year. Among the ten eligible mass-market vehicles, the Mini Cooper Electric nabbed the overall win by scoring 782. The Kia EV6 came second with 762 points, keeping Kia in the top two; the Kia Niro EV won the mass-market segment the previous two years. The Ford Mustang Mach-E (742), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (738), and Volkswagen ID.4 (735) completed the top five, the Niro EV (733) in sixth. All were above the segment average of 730. The four models fell below the segment average were the Ford F-150 Lightning (723), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (716), Chevrolet Bolt (711), and Nissan Leaf (698). How are the scores derived? J.D. Power worked with EV app maker and research firm PlugShare to get owner responses in ten areas: accuracy of stated battery range; availability of public charging stations; battery range; cost of ownership; driving enjoyment; ease of charging at home; interior and exterior styling; safety and technology features; service experience; and vehicle quality and reliability. Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at J.D. Power, said, "Recent vehicle launches from both new brands and traditional automakers have had a profound effect on what factors are most important in the ownership experience. Today’s EV owners are looking for quality, reliability, driving enjoyment, safety and technology features." The Mini, in fact, scored highest of any premium and mass-market EV in the studyÂ’s highest-weighted index factor, quality and reliability.

Fallon picks Ford F-150 King Ranch, launches dealership contest

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

New truck! Jimmy Fallon of The Tonight Show has been searching for the perfect new truck for a few weeks now, soliciting help from all corners in the process. Last night, Fallon made the announcement that the Ford F-150 King Ranch - in all of its cowboy glory - had been picked as his big winner.
To add some more spice to a storyline that now dips deeply into the realm of the advertorial, Fallon also announced a contest to see which Ford dealership would get the privilege of selling him the King Ranch. Dubbed "Fingers on a 4x4" The Tonight Show has invited 10 dealer reps from around the country to keep their hands on Jimmy's F-150 for as long as possible. Last salesperson standing wins.
Watch Fallon make his pick and introduce the dealer reps below, and be sure to click on the second video for a live-streaming feed of Fingers on a 4x4 in action (the contest seems to be going strong).

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
