I'm guessing, but I think take my Cobra out about 6-8 times per year.  
The rest of the year I pop some popcorn, pull up a chair in the garage, pull the car cover off and just stare at it. |

2 1/2 years later I'm still in the Cobra when it's sunny and over 50. Sometimes in January February and March I cheat on the over 50 rule.

Say it ain't so. WTF are you thinking?

When it starts to feel mundane, simply push your foot down a little farther on the gas pedal and that feeling will be replaced by a bunch of others,
Fear, excitement, trepidation, nausea, dizzyness, incontinance, vertigo, bed wetting, etc. Usually followed by the words "Holy S--t!"
And I have had Cobras for the last three years and drive them at least 2-3 times a week, about 4000 miles per year. Except during the winter, then I skip that week.

... and for a real thrill, try wedging your foot between the brake and throttle pedal so you can't pull it out.  |

That's where the incontinance comes from!

This guy is right. Some times you sort of forget how much fun it is to drive. Not many cars can make a 2 car pass with 3/4 throttle. Thats on the performance end. Then... something cool will happen, like when a guy ran down the middle of the street to flag me down to see the car.
Driving a cobra is equivelant to having sex. Its always fun!

Lots and Lots
I average 6,000 miles a year. At least 200 of that is on the track. I'm on my second Cobra and in 4.5 years I have a total of 25,000 miles in the seat. If it was cooler here in the summer, I'd be out even more> but it probably wouldn't be as nice in the winter then. I guess it averages out.

We are in Maine
We drive our cobra a lot. This year we have traveled to Maine to visit friends,1200 miles one way. We meet such great people and never eat at a bad restaurant. Four years ago our trip was to LA so that I could drive the Pacific Coast highway-7498 miles in 28 days. Great fun and wonderful memories.
