The shifter is like that because of how far back the transmission sits in the car. Otherwise you’d have to do some crazy linkage. That’s how all Cobras are. Even the real originals from the 60s are like that.

Not a kit car guy, not really a Cobra guy but, research shows this is actually a good price for this. Definitely check out the motor for damage. And, dude. Steam clean the engine bay before you put it up for sale. Cautious NP pending getting the history and a mechanic’s checkout. I mean, if you WANT to spend north of…

All those lacking features you mention are what happens when someone buys a striped base model. My ‘14 Exclaim is decent to drive around town with the 2.0L, the Pano sunroof let’s in a ton of light, and it has factory Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,

Its probably an og Centurion that was sideswiped at some point. That would explain the F-250 fender, the door with tow mirror mounting holes the off color rear door and the poor bodywork.

No drive train.

Or, ya know, just buy a suburban and call it good. 

For everything that needs to be done they need to take about 4K off that asking price 

This is indeed (probably) one of the pseudo factory jobs- they were called Centurion C-350s, going by some iteration of that with or without Ford in the name.

I just had one for a rental and I thought it was great. Sure, not fast but it gets going, we took 5 people out and about town in it no problem, even went to the beach and the trunk easily swallowed the cooler, a couple beach chairs, towels and an umbrella. Plus I like how the hatch goes up like a little roof

Had one as a rental and thoroughly enjoyed driving it. The only thing I could think would make it better was more h-powarr, so I’d be curious to drive the one with 201hp.

I follow F1 pretty closely now, but wasn’t at all when Hamilton first came up. Just now learning that he lost the championship his rookie year by just one point, and then won his second year by just one point. Wow!

Hope this season comes down to the last race as well.

Agree. Which is why I think George will use 2022 to figure out Mercedes, the new car, the new regulations, and Lewis, and then go for the title in 2023. Lewis isn’t at “fuck around with Alonso” age anymore, and the writing is on the wall that, no matter when it happens, George is the future of Mercedes as much as he…

Look, George is great. Love George.

Yep.  This is clearly a move to secure a young driver when Hamilton retires, as that event is coming fairly soon.  I don’t think Hamilton is worried about anything, as everyone starts from zero next year.

I see this as a move to provide a backfill, should Hamilton choose to retire sometime after the 2023 season. Mercedes needs a driver who can still deliver the championship when Hamilton is gone.

Mercedes isn’t known for treating their second drivers well...

Where have I seen this concept before? Oh yeah..

Why. Please for the love of god explain why. My brain may explode trying to figure our how someones brain justified the massive cost for this?
