I drove my first cobra 3 hours to get it home. Got stuck in freeway rush hour traffic and ran into a rainstorm.

Never again. Trailer it home. Then take it on small excursions until you are completely comfortable with the car and its power. You don't want to have to make an emergency maneuver in a short wheelbase, over powered unfamiliar go cart until you are used to driving it.

Resist the temptation to do the eight hour cruise home. These cars are not like jumping into your suv, turning on the air conditioning and music and enjoying the miles in comfort.

if you want your first drive to be thrilling, do it from home.
