Your biggest critics on this forum don't even own Cobras but they sure know how to spend your money. Heck, they will even teach u how to wash a Cobra.
Anyways, welcome abroad. It is only a madness if you take it too seriously. Otherwise, it is a fun hobby with miles of smiles, thumbs up, and u can say without stutter, "yes, this is a real Cobra."

Welcome abroad? Is he going to Europe or something?
"Pay no mind"? Really, this comes from a Nissan Leaf owner, who someday, 2 years from now maybe, wants to buy a replica Porsche 550 Spyder to carry his heavy pet food bags from Petco instead of taking them on the NY subway and yet finds the time to post on a Cobra forum in between the exhausting hours he spends watching the Tour De France on TV.
As for the advice, the new owner had questions, I stepped up and answered them.
Who cares about fuel line? Uh, well an owner who's concerned about increasing the resale value of his Shelby Cobra that he just bought "under market." That's who.
Who cares about tires? Uh, someone concerned about their safety in a light car with lots of HP on terrible tires.
As for the thread on washing your Cobra, I assume most of us that take care of our Cobras, especially new owners who have not washed an open cockpit car before, may need help/advice washing them.
And the "this is a real Cobra" comment is not cool. And you know why.
NYG, here's some more advice for you. Move along to the Beck Spyder forum that someone gave the link to you a week or two ago. And talk some smack about VW vs. Subaru engines.
