Several good points here...

If you have one, you'd understand.
It's mostly the journey when owning one, makes you smile every time you see it.
Pulling back in the driveway, you'll be glad it stayed together for the entire trip.

I've had both big and small block cars. The big block without question sounded incredible, but I love the small block. Something to be said about stopping buy the local auto parts store and picking up an "affordable" part.

I'm in Florida, I drive it year round. When it's close to 100 degrees, I drive it because I love the car, not because it's fun. Some CC members are fortunate to have significant others that share the same passion, but some don't. Tough to sell that nice ride in a Cobra when you're sweating and/or getting rained on before leaving the street.

Again, easy to ask questions as to why they can be a PITA when you only see them at the car show at their best. It's the behind the scenes part that most didn't know they were signing up for.

That said, I'll always own one.
