After one year of ownership, I'm in the process of a half-hearted attempt at selling mine right now, for most of the reasons listed:

Wife literally hates the car. She loves the attention we get when we're out and about but hates everything else about it; noise, wind, comfort (or lack thereof). Hasn't burned her leg but only because I caution her every time she gets in or out.

The weather in South Florida can be brutal; 95 degrees/95% humdity, rains all the damn time. Try to beat the heat and drive at night, you'll be cleaning bugs off and out of the car for a month. There's really only about 4 months out of the year you can reliably expect to have an enjoyable day in the car (but it is some glorious weather).

Boredom. It's hard to stay excited when most of the time the car is just taking up space in the garage. Plus, there are so many other activities the whole family gets involved in (fishing/boating, camping, off-road, sports) whereas the car is only one or two of us at a time.

I'm reluctant to sell because I have a great time with the car. There are three top quality tracks (Miami-Homestead, Palm Beach International and Sebring) within 150 miles of the house, Miami and Palm Beach are within 50. I love hitting all the car shows we have down here, have made many new friends due to the car and with Reg and the guys just a few miles up the road, there is tremendous dealer support. I know if/when I sell, I'll miss it tremendously. But, then again, I missed my airplane, which was the dream of my life, and eventually got over it. I'll be honest on that one; airplanes are an expensive hobby. Cobras (replicas, anyways) are cheap in comparison.
