I would be going from Richmond, VA to either Brevard, NC where my Mom has a house (leave it in her garage), or to Atlanta where I live. One of the issues I have to deal with is I live in an old house in a historic neighborhood in Atlanta that was built before cars were popular. All of the land is landscaped in a way leaving no room for me to build a garage. It's real nice but not ideal for a car nut. One of my local friends has offered to temporarily keep the car in his large (I'm envious) garage. I will either take the fast Interstate route if I am short of time. Or, if I am not pushed for time I would take the Blue Ridge Parkway if it is not closed for the winter. My wife might even join me for that drive!!

I will be real careful. I have owned many sportscars, but never a high horsepower short wheelbase car. I understand the issues and will be careful. This car means a lot to me. It is not just another sports car. I have wanted a Cobra since I was a teenager who unsuccessfully tried to talk my Dad into buying one. I'll write more about what this means to me after I get the car. Also Bill, I have totally done my homework about the Cobra marketplace. I know what's out there and what it is worth. A used Superformance is the right match between a high quality car and what I can afford.

Great idea about calling the dealer. I will do it tomorrow. Thanks!!

I'm getting comfortable about getting the car without having my mechanic along. Bill S's detailed punchlist is real good and I can follow it. Also, just like Don, I have gotten comfortable with the car's owner. I believe he has integrity and is a straight shooter. If there were problems, I would be surprised if he concealed them from me.

I welcome any other thoughts on this issue.

Thank you,

Jack
