I finally got the time to fix the Escort, the alternator hed finally gone out. I cant't really complain, I don't think alternators usually last 174k or 11 1/2 years.
Now I can stop driving the Cobra to work........waaaaaaaaaaaaa, someone get me a tissue.
Man after getting everything installed and doing a test drive I swear the car was going to fall apart but the Cobra hs just spoiled me.

Just remember: every door ding the Escort gets is one less for the Cobra.

I'll tell you, when the alternator went out one of my neighbors asked about the car and I told my wife that maybe I should sell it. But man the cobra would have to sit in the sun all day at work and get sand blasted during the windy season. I have drove the escort for 2 days now and she cruises at 75 and still pulls in over 30mpg. This little car is going to have to be pulled away on a tow truck before I get rid of it.
