Sounds like - unfortunatly - you learned too many hard lessons all at once. Sorry it didn't work out for you.

But, you're absolutly correct about what a Cobra really is. Yes, it's the coolest car ever built. If watching one go by doesn't raise your pulse just a little bit, your serum testosterone level needs adjusting. Driving one at speed just makes you laugh out loud.

BUT - it's loud. It's smelly. It's hot. It's cold and wet. It can be a bumpy ride. There's no stereo, A/C, or power anything. It's a seat, a motor, 4 wheels, and that's about it. You can't just jump in and go. You'll be constantly messsing with it to get everything just right. You'll easily spend as much time under it as you do in it.

Above all - It's the perfect car for me.
