well... while they put a motor in the cobra atleast...

my wife actually thought she would drive the L, instead of the echo!!!

either the water pump impeller came off, or the thermostat stuck closed... the water in the radiator was nice and cold.. the motor was NOT.. smoke coming out of the dipstick tube, oil baked on the dipstick!!!!!

cobra has 6,700 miles on it.. and will be soon on its second motor.. and HAS NOT been raced yet!?!?!?!?!?

oh well, it will be all better soon.

 

When my Lightning was in the shop last year awaiting replacement of a door that was dented at a car wash, they tried to give me a Neon................no disrespect to anyone who owns a Neon, but I laughed at them..............I requested something "comparable in class". They gave me an Eclipse Spyder GT................much better!! Not the zippiest ride or anything, but MUUUUUCH better than a freeking Neon!!!

You should bictch a little and at least end up with a V6 Mustang or something

jc

 

good luck with the repairs, you're much calmer than I would be....

 

i dont get worked up about much... just isnt worth it.

atleast with the new motor, Ill have all the latest fixes that have been done in the later production cars. this will also teach my wife that there are more guages than the "fuel" guage.

just comes down to "shi-tuff" happens

 

beat the crap out of the echo.

 

the wife is driving it, will be a change for her to actually get some gas milage

 

Madness, that suck. I didnt know that the Cobras didnt have the fail safe system that the Lightnings have. I dont see why Ford doesnt put it on all vehicles if they have it in the trucks.

 

I'm driving a Windstar mini van today, trucks back in the shop for another broken weld (floor pan to fire wall). This is the 2nd broken weld in six months.

allowing a woman to drive the vehicle is the real mistake.
if you show a dog a lawn you can't expect them not to poop on it.

 

I purchased the cobra for her.. its a girly car she aint gettin the Lightning

 

take the echo from her tonight, and beat the crap out of it. Im talking about running it as hard as humanly possible. Drive it like you stole it. Take it off road, stuff like that.

 

nah, who knows how long this will take, better keep the car running for now.

 

well, I guess it like saturns . . . somebody is buying them . . . stay green

 

u know any kind of damages to rentals u have to pay , like takin off road, get a nice big scratch on it, u will get charged, i was about to do the same when my truck was in the shop and they gave me a rental but i just beat on it, didnt do stupid **** wit it

and it was 2002 buick park ave they gave me, it had some torque, better than gettin a neon or something

 

One of my friends showed me a import amg where ome poeple had rented a neon and put some nitrous on it.
