To cold for the Cobra

[Gary Stubbs]

Coldest was a couple weeks ago in high 20's. Like alot here in az at 110 and up. I still like emailing friends and relatives in Minnesota about our snow reports on the golf courses every couple of weeks. What is it minus 12 now in Minn. I do mention that I am driving the Cobra to golf course. They get back at me and visit till i throw them out tho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the concern over global warming is not that it's happening, but that it's happening at an accellerated pace since we've been scientifically monitoring it.

Yes, the Earth goes through many cycles---and has been through several mass extinctions since it first formed (unless you're a "real conservative" and want to argue the "young Earth" argument---that Earth is only about 6k years old...). Probably responsible to be making sure we're not soiling our own nest and initiating our own mass extinction.

Meanwhile, I, too, say it's too cold for the Cobra. Even in "Sunny California".

Not so sunny this past week. Things are looking up for later this week though.

Doug, when are going to start your tear down for paint?

It was in the 30's here in West Virginia today. The Cobra made lots of power. What a blast !!

I take it back. I had to head down to the store and decided to take the Cobra. Bomber jacket, fleece ski cap and a scarf, and headed out into the balmy 50 degree night---you've got to remember: shaved head, great for deflecting road debris, but really, really cold with wind chill. The drive was not too bad. Nice to get the Cobra out between rain storms (or "sprinkles" as you call them in other states...). I opened it up a little pulling out onto Mt. Hermon Road, and goosed it once, then slowed to get into the left turn lane by Starbucks. CHP pulls up next to me. Smiles. Moves on. I think I'd been seeing red lights had I been slightly more aggressive...

Got-the-Bug-Doug: February. I'll probably start the tear-down in mid-January---providing I'm done with the bathroom remodel (down to the studs---this ought to be interesting...). Steve Woods offered me use of a trailer to tow up to Yuba City to Ken's. I'm checking with a local painter first, but I think Ken's in Yuba City will likely be the winning bid. Still thinking solid black. I'm looking forward to a warm spring and a painted Cobra!

Sounds good DD. It's great that you've had time to shake the car down and enjoy it before it goes to paint.
