Yup, like Ray said.

You don't know real excitement until you have driven your Cobra in heavy rain. I keep a towel inside (for myself).

Actually, wet handling is not too bad with the Yokohamas. You DO have to be very smooth with the throttle in the rain, and in below freezing temps. Then there is the snow......

I don't even use the wind wings any more. If you do use the side curtains, the wind wings make an extra step for the process of getting into or out of the car...

Fold the wind wing forward
Open the side curtain
Reach in and open the door
Enter the car (with the top on, this will keep you in shape!!!)
Close the door (holding the front of the side curtain inside the windshield)
Reach out and fold back the wind wing
Close the window

If it is raining hard, you are already wet :-)

If you drive your Cobra winters in the northeast, you know what I mean!

How about this for a poll...

How many CC owners keep an ice and snow scraper in the trunk of their Cobra
