Since you're as old as I am, you unnerstand the concept of..sh*t happens.
OK - sh*t did happen, and to you. Go put a couple Dos Equis in your tank, look fondly on the pictures of all those fine young females that (for reasons only they can detail
) cluster around you, and be aware life really IS good.
Even with a sorta-broke Cobra. Damn, that's better than NO Cobra, don't you think?
Pump another $4 or 5K into it, bite a bullet knowing what you will have after this, chalk all up to experience (NEVER free), and take one of them honeys out for a nice cruise.
Like I said above, life really IS good, Unk.
