Some of you "potential buyers" are just as obsessed at
trying to buy as the car owners are in wanting to keep.

There is no reasonable solution in dealing with irrational
minds which lie in diametric opposition to eachother lol.

So where in the big book of Big Boys Toys does it say we gotta be rational? Is it rational for us to spend years on building a Cobra and then selling it? Is it rational for us to spend countless hours away from our family racing thru the side lanes of the country side whenever we thing we can get away with it? Is it rational for us to spend the money we do for such a smelly, bone jarring, gas guzzling, high maintenance car? Is it rational for us to spend countless hours fixin" our ride when it breaks down?, Is it rational for us to go thru the car and tighten every nut and bolt after we 've been for a ride? Is it rational for us to yell at someone for touching car when we are sitting watching people admire our cars at a car show? Is it rational for us to get up from watching TV in the evening and just stroll out into the garage and just look at the car and smile that all knowing smile that sez, yep she is all mine? and finally, is it rational that grown men spend many hours and thousands of posts on this website just talking about our dreams and frustrations and yearnings and sharing all there is to be learned about owning a Cobra?

Answer: you betcha, because we are Cobra owners and the rest of the world can think what they want. Cheers, tin-man

[HI Cobra]

Now that seems to sum the experience up nicely. You bet!

Oh Brother ...

1. Don't confuse your quirks and idiosyncrasies with that of the common man owning a cobra.
2. Who the f*** died and appointed you the definitive authority on cobra owners?

You need a reality check ...
- The time spent building a cobra should be for the experience, not to be forever married to it, people move on
- All cobras don't smell like gas, if it bothers you fix that leaky carburetor or gas leak
- All cobras aren't loud, you can muffle your sidepipes to suit your liking
- If your cobra is a substitute for time that should be spent with family then you have a problem

... just about everything you said sounds like the rant of some teenage kid - there's a whole lot more to life than owning a cobra, it should not be the centerpiece of your existence, just a part of it.
