The story
Backstory: As of writing this on 7/24/19 I am 27. Since 2007 I have always wanted to own a Cobra as I grew up around V6 and GT Mustang convertibles, my #1 dream car has always been a 2007 Shelby GT500 SuperSnake Convertible. Cobra's have been a "Forbidden Fruit" for/to me and I have always wanted a SN95 SVT Cobra. After having major mechanical problems on a 00 V6 Mustang I owned, I was on the hunt for a a replacement car and found this Cobra on Facebook Marketplace sitting on a used car lot near where I work and learned it had been there for a couple of months. After a lot of money and work I got to bring "Tiny Tina" home with 72,300 miles on her. She is named after a character from Borderlands 2. I have owned her since 5/31/19 and currently have just over 83,xxx miles on her as she is my daily.
