LOL.

Not every part. Trust me. I work in tech. There are parts of that computer you claim was built in Taiwan that came from mainland China.

Don't try to lie your way out of this.

You don't work in tech. You are not a chemist. You are not a scientist. You are not an engineer. You are not a business owner. You are not a contractor. You are a nothing. Stop making up shit about yourself.

Taiwan is not China and does not act as a port for China.

I think Hybrids are going to start becoming more popular. U.S. sales of hybrid vehicle sales jumped 76% to 801,550 vehicles last year, accounting for 5% of U.S. light vehicle sales in 2022.

But, last year, the price of gasoline was too high. But, the thing is, people don't easily forget that the price of gasoline can go back up at any time.

So, I look for sales of hybrids to start doubling every year until they become the standard. We're probably 4 or 5 years away from when it will become the standard sale!

Only the wealthiest people can afford the pricey EV's!

You are making up numbers again.

I wonder how they would do in a Texas hail storm. I have already lost 2 roofs due to hail.

Rather poorly. They are generally destroyed.

Oh, BTW, they are in the way of roofers repairing a roof, so they will be removed at that time and thrown away. They're worthless after the hail, of course.

Think of it as expensive shingles going into the dumpster.

I have had baseball sized hail two different times.

Looks like the True Believers on the Left are fleeing Musk after his Twitter takeover. Seems to me, that Musk has become an apostate to Leftists.

No, mine was factory built out of Gadsden AL by Unique Motorcars. Top quality and American made. Many more expensive "rollers" were built in South Africa. I spent almost 2 years doing research (within my budget) looking at what other owners said of their cars. I did the same for engine builders (my car sat for 2 years). I could have had a 390 built by spring, but I wanted an authentic 427 Side Oiler. I could scare you into a state of shock without opening the secondaries. This car is NOT for the timid.

Your car sound like a Disney movie. The Beauty and The Beast. I have a college friend that has a 390 cobra he took me for a ride and the rear end would get out from under him. He also has an authentic 1970 302 Boss. My 2008 Shelby dynos at 730 on Torco and about 713 on E85. (I routinely run E85) You have to be careful or the rear end will get out from under you. I can do a burn out that makes the car disappear in smoke. :laugh: My neighbor had a Lamborghini Gallardo (beautiful car) that he thought was unbeatable. I showed him what American iron can do the look on his face was priceless.

One storm that hit my home with baseball and golf ball sized hail hit a friends house with baseball, and softball sized hail. He had a cedar shake roof and it had about 25 holes right through it. The ceilings collapsed due to water damage.

A friend had a concours-quality BOSS 302, most didn't know what they were looking at, they just thought it was a nice '70 BOSS Mustang. He sold it because his wife didn't want him to put any miles on it and bought a '07 GT 500. He died that winter from battling the Chinese Disease.
The short 90" wheelbase and Jag rear end make smoking the tires scary, the rear end can go out from under you in a split second. It breaks the tires loose in a quick 3500 rpm shift into 3rd. gear now.
One of my friends had a '11 Porsche GT3 RS, one of the last built with a manual trans. That was one fast car. He traded it in for a new GT4 because he wanted a Porsche he could drive more often.
We never ran either side by side, both had excellent acceleration, but the GT3 RS would out run the Cobra top end.
I'm gonna keep the Cobra for the upcoming summer, I may look for another '67 or '68 Mustang Fastback. We'll see when that time comes.
Funny thing is, I was looking at a '07 GT 500 before I came across this Cobra, but the 8 yr. old who first saw a Cobra and wanted one ever since, won out.
I didn't expect to spend another $30k on a new engine though. :( The period correct 427 does make it's value increase to where I shouldn't lose money on it.

I know exactly what you mean. I love them too.

I'd like to own a Pantera also. 351 Cleveland are sweet running engines.
