First 50 miles in one day (FIRST DRIVE)

You won't get over that urge to drive your Cobra in the cold even after 30,000 miles or should I say smiles. As long as you live where the winters are long and cold you just won't be able to help yourself. It may not happen as often and your wife may not allways go, but it will still happen.

I had the heated seats and a heater installed and I routinely go out around 45-50 degree weather, in blue jeans, a medium windbreaker, and a ball cap. Gloves do help, but not a neccessary item, especially if it is sunny.

I have been told by my father-in-law multiple times that in a fiberglass body, driving with the temps below freezing can/will cause cracking in the paint. He used to have a few old 'vets that had that issue.

Is this urban legend/based on older paint. Or does this hold true.

Congratulations. I have actually put more miles in temps below 60 then above, I would strongly advise watching the right foot placements, I have noticed a difference in temps around there as far as traction is concerned.

Thank heavens for windshields. Used to take my Harley (no fairing) out on 20 degree days.

First 15 minutes were exhilarating. After 15 minutes....BRAIN-FREEZE!

Why put it up for the winter? I have been driving in 30 degree weather and just got a seat heater for $22 from Amazon that plugs into the 12 volt accessory outlet. Soon as I get my FFR back together this week with revalved shocks from Bilstein and heavier springs front and rear I will be looking forward to a toasty New Years ride with the Capital Area Cobra Club!

Best thing I ever did for cold weather driving was to hook up my electric vest from my motorcycling days.Has a rheostat to control heat. It really is decadent it's so nice.
