Not Ranked
On November 4th, 2013, I flew into Roswell, NM to pick up my newly purchased Cobra. I test drove it, checked all of the fluids, picked up the needed items from Wal Mart (see other thread for list) and hit the road the next morning for a 1,600 mile trip back to NC. It was a great trip and I would do it again tomorrow. With this said, the following items helped me make my decision to drive verses ship:
1. I was having a hard time finding a quality shipping company that would go to Roswell, NM.
2. The car I purchased had a hard top and was well sorted with over 14k miles logged.
3. It was always part of my dream to buy a Cobra and drive it home.
I took a four days to make the trip and always stopped to top off the fuel and check fluids every few hours. I made it a point to only drive in the daylight hours and only stayed at hotels that would allow me to keep the Cobra parked under the covered luggage drop area over night. I had no problems with any hotel staff as they all loved the car.
I purchased a driver and I have logged over 2,300 miles since returning home with the Cobra in November.
I also goggled a road trip planner with weather forecast to help me plan my trip. Enjoy the ride!
