Now he rides and I drive when the Cobra is out.

I'm 47 A.C. (after coffee) First thing in the morning makes me wonder if they're dog years.
Probably like a lot of you, can't figure out how I made it this far.
Like one of the old-timers once told me: " I don't worry about stuff that hurts when I get up anymore, but the day I get up and nothing hurts, then I'll worry.  |

That's awesome..... My girlfriend and I are both in our 40's and still into the Friday night drinkin', dancin', honkeytonk scene hanging with the 20 somethings getting teased about being the old farts. It will feel good to be the youngsters in a group!!!

55 in March this year. Fell in love with cobra in high school when older kid's father bought him a red 289. Father relatively affluent (owned local Lincoln-Mercury dealership), but to his son's credit, I think he still owns it.

40 and had mine for about a year. Realization of a dream I've had since I was 12. That's about how old I feel when I drive it.

I was born a month before Pearl Harbor was bombed. Saw a Red Skelton piece on the Cobra when it was first being introduced that cracked me up and then decided in 73, when I saw a Cobra in the flesh, that "one of these days I'm going to have one of them thar things". Finally got around to it 6 years ago and haven't looked back.
The only thing left now is to really buckle down and decide what I'm going to be when I grow up.

40, got mine 3 years ago. My father and I would always drool over them. I am proud to let him drive it. He gets about 30% of the driving time.

Not as old as some of those rocks I saw when I rafted the Grand Canyon (everyone should do that at least once), but definitely about 16 maturity-wise. My goal is to hang on long enough to be over 100 when I drive my Cobra over the hill, seeing those people running around screaming "Look out, here he comes again!"  Rich |

I am a young 41. I have wanted one of these since I saw my first original in BC back in 1988.

I just turned 52 and am hoping to have my car licensed by the end of this month (June 2010.) I don't know if it will ever be finished though.
I've wanted one since I saw a picture of a 427 Cobra in 1965 and told my father he should buy one. He didn't...
