The only reason I delayed buying one was the money. I knew I wanted one, no question. I had never seen one in person, much less drove one before I visited the manufacturer.
The first one I drove was mine in go cart fashion!
My original plan was to build it, drive it for a little while and then sell it to build another.
Now I know that it will be the last car I own.
My wife loves to go with me to dinner, Starbucks for coffee, ice cream, or a "drive" to look at new neighborhoods, and I drive it like an old lady when she's in the car. (I think that's what keeps her happy)
One of the guys I went cruising with one time said, "I'm the coolest guy when I'm driving my cobra", but I don't think that's what makes me like it so much.
Mine is not "JUNK", it has not left me stranded, (yet) and I feel comfortable driving 100's of miles away from home. (Always carrying my cell phone) I have not been snake bitten but my wife and son has. The worst I have gotten is a 3rd degree sun burn on a LONG cruise on a very hot summer day. (No sun screen or hat)
I'd do it again today if I could, and I probably will.
My daughter tells me not ever to sell mine every time she rides in it. She doesn't have to worry.
If you are trying to decide because your not sure you want one, don't buy it!
If you are unsure because you think you don't need to spend the money, buy it! It's gonna get spent on something! Just make sure you can afford it.
If you can't afford one built, (like me) then build it as you can afford it.
