Bob, I think the Cobra will be like every Euro car I have driven! Here are a few of the similarities:

1) Loud (the Alfa was the loudest production car made in the 70's according to Car and Driver)
2) Cramped
3) Impractical
4) Stiff/rough
5) Feels like your rear is dragging the ground
6) You have to crawl in and out of it
7) You feel like you have been beat up after driving it a distance.
8) Unique
9) Attention grabber
10) Just about the most fun you can have with your clothes on!

One thing to keep in mind is that I am 6'3", so I have ruled out several cars because of size. I also have some time scheduled in a BDR soon.

The bottom line on the Cobra is, I've always wanted one. It will bring a smile to my face when I see it in the garage. It will be fun to drive. When it is no longer fun, I will sell it and move on to something else. Between cars and motorcycles I have gone through 50 vehicles in my life. I can't wait for 51!
