I would get glassey eyed, weak knees, and salvate every time I would see a Cobra before I got my Cobra
Some things never change!

It's more than what I expected. Every time I walk out to the garage it takes my breath away. I'v owned and driven some fun cars over the years, and really enjoyed every one of them.

But the Cobra is something differant, something special. Just driving it around town makes me smile. I don't even bother to come up with an excuse to drive it, or even a place to go. SOmetimes I just go wander around for a couple of hours (I plan on doing that later today). I'll be a Cobra Guy until the day I die.

I guess that times have changed since my Cobra adventure of forty years ago, but mine was never about the reaction of strangers to the car, or even the "visceral experience". We had a family rule: it never left the garage without hitting triple digits at least once, sometimes by the end of our street.

Others have said before and maybe better but a Cobra is a blast to drive. A Cobra is recognized anywhere you take it, somebody in a small group will know and happily explain to all around what they are seeing. If there is a car that makes most want to ask for a ride this car is it. I have given beauty queens to Granny's a ride and enjoy that as much as they they claim to have had.

I have driven cars faster by far but none as capable. What a treat for the senses.
