Newbie From Honolulu, Hawaii
 

Hey all. Little about myself...I just spent the last 4 years in Japan and now am stationed at Hickam Air Force Base, Honolulu, Hawaii. I was big into the mustang hobby but sold mine when I went to Japan. I have since picked up a 2004 Comp Orange Cobra. I couldn't find one here so I bought this off SVTPerformance.com and had it shipped from Florida to here. It has a few goodies on it. :)

Here is my baby:

That car is sweet! Grats on the new base. Never been there but I would like to.

BTW....are you a senior or do you just like the stripes? What do you do for the AF?

I seen that car in a post on MPH before you bought it. Man that is ONE BADASS RIDE. I also seen the videos and just sat drooling.

more pics!!!

Thanks All! I really an enjoying the car here. I am part of a club here and get to do cruises. Our track has closed here, so that sucks the big one.

Here is the old website of the car from it's previous owner:

I am actually a SMSgt (E8)...have been for a few years now. I test for E9 this year.

Holy crap man....you have the perfect car...in the perfect color....

Steve-O.

I noticed where you are from. I am originally from Brighton, Colorado. Graduated HS there. Small world.

welcome...I envy you....that is my favorite car in my favorite color


but why oh why did you tint the tails :(

no joke....lookin at that cobra...makes me wanna go find one in my area and be about $10 grand MORE in debt... :bash:

I prefer the tinted look. The cobra emblem in the rear bumper is actually black in color. The flash made it come out chrome. It actually looks pretty good with the tinted windows. But, to each his/her own.

Sweet car!!! Nice assignment, too!!! Hickam's been on the top of my dreamsheet since I joined the Air Force several years ago...:beerchug:

you choice I guess...I'm going to go cry myself to sleep now :(

it looked so much better before bro, I was drooling over the pics and vid in florida

You must know Cole? He is a regular on MPH, he is in Hawaii.

I don't think he does, considering cole lives on Maui, and Marc here lives on Oahu

:lol: Your killing me!

:banana: :pepper: :punk: Never!

Its only tint for God's sake! Its funny...when I first did the tint, I posted pictures on other sites...you are the first to stay you don't care for it.

i think theyre just saying it to be nice, it doesnt match your car!! you have chrome wheels...dont make me come to hawaii and take em off for you

what does he know...

I think it looks great man!... How u likin Hawaii, grandfather was stationed out there in the Army, left scolfield barracks 2 months before Dec 7th 41'...

sux about the trac closing why not try driving through the Dole plantation? lol

yup it's official.....

i hate you and your car..please leave now so i dont' get even more jealous. :)
JK man that car is sweet. Can't wait till next year when i can get one.

Youll just be seeing the taillights as his car whines past you anyways jon.

orange cobra > yellow bumblebee GT

good luck on the test for chief. How many years have you been in? I had 4 years active in NC and now I am in the guard here in Colorado. I just got E-6 BTW at 11 years. The guard life is VERY different.

congrats on the Cobra, just got mine a couple months ago.

Can't believe nobody has said this yet, but,,,,(from one vet to another) THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!!

welcom to MB. i love your car but hate you(only because i want your car) lol

enjoy your stay

Thanks for the warm welcome. I ended up buying the car from the mainland because cobras are far and few in between here. They want a fortune at dealerships here. A 04 mystic coupe here was selling for $36K. I bought mine with about $5K worth of mods for $29.5K. It does turn a eye or two here. It has dynoed at 480HP on a conservative tune. My only mod plan is to get a 2lb lower pulley which should put me around 500HP.

I have been in the service 22 years and still counting. I just got back from Baghdad back in October. I was running with a Convoy Team cruising some of the most dangerous roads in the world.

Again, thanks for the welcome!

You're welcome Marc. If my dumbass would have stayed in I would have retired in two years. Oh well, no worries. Enjoy Hawaii while you are there. Nothing against this site but check out the Terminator section at Modular Fords.com for even more info.

Yeap, I frequent that site too. One of the best tech sites (IMOP) is SVTPerformance.com. I guess I like that site because that is where I found my cobra. :)

I just got 60 day banned from SVTP :(


but i agree, those guys know their cobras

Welcome Dude. Nice Cobra. Good luck on chief!

Lotta vets and enlisted here. I did 4 yrs in the AF myself, was in Misawa AB Japa in the 35th comm, WIREDAWGS! , then i got the hell out. pay was too good for communication techs in the outside. Best 4 years of my life though, thats for sure.

I spent a couple years in maui when i was a little kid. AF brat back then. Its nice out there.
There is getting to be a decent amount of us on here from colorado as well.

Be careful, you already have Badfish 2 posts away from humping your leg. Ive never seen quite this level of reaction from him.

If you get stationed in peterson its gonna be like that movie fatal attraction. You'll find him in yer kitchen butt naked except for the tints from yer tails on his nipples and cooking you breakfast.

:lol: Thats too funny! Now that would be one helluva reaction on my car...never got that reaction before.

Badfish: Why did you get the ban?

Spill it Jon!
