There will be a time for each of us when the Cobra is just not the right car for us. I will love and enjoy mine for as long as I have it.

Congrats on your decision, dlang! As far as toys go, the Cobra (to me) is all toy and no luxuries, which makes it that much more fun.

Thanks again for all the responses.

I should probably post this in the tires section, but HOLY *$%^!!!!!

I went from old and hard (but perfect tread) Yokos to a new set of Avons. What an amazingly different car to drive. I cannot express what a dramatic improvement this is. If you need tires, heck if you dont need tires but you're living with what you've got spend the money. its worth it.

Simply wow.

I own an SPF and an '07 GT500. Both are beautiful cars. Realistically, they are both 2 seaters and, at least to me, neither one is a daily driver. I too wish to take the family out on cruises. My solution is to sell the GT500 and buy a '30s vintage Ford 4-door sedan street rod.

Well its a good thing the haberdasher is only 5 miles away and you never go over 40. But your loved one should refuse to ride to the Oyster Bar on those petrified Yokes.

I can't believe YOU'RE gonna cheap out and not buy Avons.
You, who buys cams for guys that don't use 'em...

Uhh, I got every cent's worth of enjoyment from that cam buy. OK, I'll go with the Avons, if it makes you feel better.
