You probably could, and that's an interesting observation on Cobra value. I think RodKnock, bless him, touched on it recently and I was going to follow up on the thought but never did. That thought was expressed in a thread were he was talking about his unwillingness to trade his Kirkham for a car that was clearly worth more than his. I, too, would not trade my ERA for RodKnock's Kirkham even though his car is clearly worth more than mine... to almost anyone in the world but me, that is. When you have gone to the trouble of getting your car "just right" (or mostly so) for you, that tends to be worth quite the premium (but only to you).
