Turk,

I believe the problem is not with the amount of Cobra owners out there, but the 800% increase in claims from all Cobra owners (real and replica) over the last two years.....(Yes, I said 800% increase by the way)......This is not, I repeat not just a number thrown around as arbitrary, but is a very factual number floating around the upper levels of the insurance industry., which is why new and old owners of Cobras are having such a difficult time getting insurance coverage for their cars.......I myself had to jump through hoops to get coverage for the latest Cobra to grace my garage, and I have no tickets and accidents, and have years of SCCA, and other high performance car ownership (90% vintage) and driving courses under my belt (for those reading this, I highly recommend a Bob Bondurant course, even though he switched over to Vettes from the Mustangs)......This is a problem that will not go away, and will only get worse before it gets better. By starting up an organization similar to the hot rod groups, we are showing the insurance industry that we are attempting to "self police" our own community (so to speak). It's a start......


Just my own rambling two cents worth on this particular subject so early on a Saturday morning............


Yours In Fords,

PS: I guess the major problem is not with your experience, but how you use it..........You think "I know what I'm doing" right up to the point you lose control of your car and yourself. Even then, you get people who will still say "I know what I was doing"...These are the people that will never get it....NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
