Hold off and wait. I first "almost" bought my first Contemporary Classic Cobra back in the early 80's, but just couldn't make it all work at the time. Twenty years later I had my ERA built down to my exact specifications... and it was well worth the wait.

Regarding the "breakdowns," I really don't mind them (and they're not as many as I make it appear). I've only been towed home once, and I've only had to "limp" home twice. I was lucky enough to have the balancer breakdown while it was sitting in the garage -- so that doesn't even count. I actually enjoy working on my Cobra as my as I do driving it.

I don't drive the car on anything other than a pretty day, and it literally goes in to storage from Thanksgiving to Easter. It could never make it as a daily driver in my book.
