Dave, its all a matter of perspective and clarity of intent.

If you consider all the happenings to my car and the absolute life changing expectations I had in driving it after waiting almost one and a half years and then only being able to put 78 miles on it before it went south for the summer plus all the subsequent discussions, comments, suggestions and good camaraderie that followed my post on the subject, then yes I can consider that as mileage in a most positive and admirable way. I can say this truthfully and without any reservations since I have found an environment populated by fine upstanding gents that have a commonality of purpose being their beloved Cobra's so I do not consider that as being in anyway a negative. In fact it has been anything but, its all been positive in the support I have received from many members, who, and I am including you Dave as well in this statement, that while not knowing me personally shared in my pain, angst and exasperation at what happened.

So with all due respect to you Dave, I disagree when you state what Mikie said was to be considered as a being low.

I took the high road on his comment so there was no harm or foul recieved.

BTW, my Cobra is now fixed and is receiving extensive seat time to shake out whatever bugs may be hiding before I get it in December.
