I drive my cobra quite differently with my wife in the car than when she is not in the car. Otherwise she'd never ride in it.

My wife loves the car and doesn't care about garage space. She'll go for a ride anytime I care to take it out. She doesn't enjoy going to car shows where she sits in her folding USC chair after a casual stroll to look at the other cars.
The heat, sidepipes and other obnoxious things about the car don't bother her. In fact, on the freeway she goes to sleep without ear plugs. People adjacent to us on the freeway smile and laugh at the danging head drooping down. It's a hoot. Don't give up on the car. Maybe after a few trips she will fall asleep too.

turn in your man card and buy a Prius. She'll love you more for helping the environment.

I kind of thought he was a puss when he bought a Shelby. Real men buy Cobras built by three letter companies....  Yes, KMS is included.... |

So this means that SPF, BDR, & FFR owners are real men also?

Tom,
Are you sure she doesn't enjoy the car shows because of that USC folding chair? I bet everyone that goes by her must "BOO" her incessantly.
I know I would. |

Perhaps something more along these lines?

My wife hates yellow. I did not know this till after I painted my Cobra Yellow.
She hates riding in the Cobra.
I've had the Cobra for 10 years and the wife for 40.
I'm keep'in both.
See ya on the road.
Dwight
P.S. she is letting me keep the Cobra, but she does not want to ride in it.

Nah, they've literally done nothing (at least to be hated) since 1981.   |

I prefer driving my Cobra without anyone in the passenger seat.
I just find it more enjoyable without all the crying and empassioned pleas eminating from the passenger's seat.
If I ever get a GT40, I'll take the passenger's seat out......storage issue solved! The SO can fly to Vegas while I drive the GT40 and we'll both be happier!
Cheers!
Dugly

This is also a fact. I'm quite spirited but never "out of bounds" when I'm alone, but she's not into fast acceleration and all that stuff. The FGT won't change that either. |
