I think Rob made some poor decisions in his journey to own his dream car. But I don't hold it against him, it's not like he made those decisions knowing the poor outcomes. People make mistakes. Some are worse than others.

I owned a FFR and a KMP on my journey to my CSX. Lost some time and money in the process. But I do not regret either choice. By having both those cars, I learned a ton about them, good and bad. Now I can use that knowledge to help others. I also met a lot of great people from both camps. I highly value that as well. I like to think I gained more than I lost along the way.

As for people getting Cobras and realizing it's not for them, that is very true. I have a local guy here who has dreamed of a Cobra since he was little. Seeing mine every day, just made him more fired up to get one. So as he was frantically looking for a car, I offered to take him for a ride in mine, so he could get an idea of what they are like. I took him for a ride, and when we got back he thanked me. The next day he told me he was going to buy a Corvette instead.
