The overwhelming majority of people who post something like this end up coming to their senses and never buy a Cobra. There are a million good reasons to stay away from them -- they're a huge PITA to own, they're about as far from being practical as you can get, they cost a ton of money to buy and maintain, and they break down all the time. If you drive one for an hour on a hot afternoon you'll be exhausted for the rest of the day. Your wife is going to burn her pretty little ankle on your sidepipes and then not want to get in it again. And I could go on and on. Personally, I think you should think about another car or, at a minimum, research it for a year or two before making a move. By then you'll probably come to your senses.
