I drive mine to the store and stuff when I can. No top makes it nasty when it's nasty out, but it's almost never nasty enough to ground me. I work next door to where I work, so I usually walk or take my bike to work, but I still take my car out 3 or 4 times a week. It's just a stock 5.0, and it gets better mileage than my wife's minivan (24-25 highway mpg). Gas cost isn't a problem for me--I was paying double for a gallon of premium in Hawaii, so this is gas heaven. As far as gawkers and parking, part of the reason for having a Cobra is so that people gawk (please admit that). As far as someone boosting it, that’s what they have stated value insurance for. It’d just give me a great excuse to buy and build.
