Ok, so how much do you guys really drive your cobras? I'd like to say, weather permitting, that I could drive mine almost daily once it's done during the nicer weather months? How many have a wife and younger kids?

I ask because of this, I am currently in the position that I can afford to build a dream car, which the cobra definitely is for me! However, while being very supportive of the decision to build, my wife asked me a tough question. How much are you actually going to drive a car that has no top and poor mpg? the MPG thing is less of a factor as the no top and 2 seats thing. I have my wife and a 2 yr old daughter to think about. Which means the only time the car could be driven is when I'm alone, or if we had a babysitter. She said maybe it'd be better to build something with a back seat so we can drive it more regularly. I'm young(25), I've got plenty of time to build a cobra I guess. I make plenty of money to build just about whatever I want. But then, I have 2 other cars so it's not like I'd be relying on the cobra as a daily driver. She doesn't care which option I choose, she just doesn't want me to build a cobra and then sell it right away which has been the norm for me lately! haha Once the build is over, that's half the fun! I typically enjoy the cars for a few months and then sell em or trade em for something new to mess with.

I dunno, I'm in that "hmmmm" mind set. She made a very valid point. What would we do without women to rationalize everything!! haha
