Find some other local Cobra owners to cruise with as you start taking longer trips. You will find a lot of "been there, done that" they will be able to help with. If you aren't already a member, join the Deep South Cobra Club. Lastly be aware that even after many miles you car can still leave you stranded. After you get things sorted out most of your trouble will become inconvenience rather than safety issues. Also you will find that there is no cure for the big grin you will always have on your face
