The Terminator Cobra

      I think it started out as a project nick-name when the 2003 Cobra Mustangs were in development. But, somehow the name got out, and as soon as the Mustang fans heard of it, it stuck. The factory supercharged V8 was a real power house, in pure stock trim. But with a few minor upgrades, it was crazy awesome.

     I installed some cold air induction and exhaust upgrades on mine, in the first few months of ownership. The performance was very impressive, and lived up to the Terminator name in most any street contest I found myself in.

     After the car was three years old, I installed an upgrade supercharger pully. The resulting increase in horsepower was crazy wild. The last chapter in my book details the last major street race I was involved in, and it was between my Terminator Cobra and my friends Dodge Viper. It was an easy win for the Terminator Cobra.

Grab Some Gears

      My book; "Grab Some Gears - 40 Years of Street Racing" was finished in 2006.  It is a history of my automotive life for over forty years. Although many other things were happening in my life during all those years, the book is full of the stories of the old style street racing events I was part of during those 40+  years, and the many cars I owned and raced during those times.

     From the time I was an early teenager, until I was in my 50's,  street racing, and the cars we drove,  went through many changes. The book does a pretty good job of bringing the reader along for the ride. I've tried to tell pieces of some of those stories here on my blog over the years, but in less detail than you will find in the chapters of my book.

     Anyone interested in these things should check out my book, and even read sample chapters. Just follow this link; Grab Some Gears 

Where We Live

      Most people these days move from place to place, several times during their lives. Usually it’s because of our profession, and where the jobs take us. For me, it’s been the same situation for most of my working years. But when it came time to retire, we had some choices as to where we wanted to live. 

     There are always many things to consider, such as where some of our older family members were living at the time.  That was one of the factors that had us considering southern Utah, along with the beautiful scenery of the area that we had driven through many times over the years.

     Now that we have had a place here for over ten years, and it has been our primary residence for seven years, it truly feels like home now.  For a car guy, it’s the perfect climate, with an almost unlimited selection of scenic drives to take up our free time.  Every once in a while, when I get thinking of other places I might like to live, I truly can’t think of any place that I would rather be.
