Jim,
I think you're right on target. The problem that exists is that as an extended family, some cobra owners "ASSume" the Godfather head of the family position, while we all recognize that nothing is gospel and everything is subject to modifications. The common denominator is that we share the same passion for the car, regardless of marque, shape or even "perky butts". These cars are like women (at the risk of sounding chauvinistic), there is no such thing as a "bad" woman, some are just shaped and sound different, they all are costly and some leave lasting impressions literally and figuratively. When we forget that initial enthusiasm, those sleepless nights planning and the joy of our first cobra, it's time to switch marques. These cars, like music, transcend all socio-economic, educational and experienced boundaries. We never stop learning and should welcome those who request our advise.
