I'm young and I don't know how the hell anyone can use these cars as a DAILY driver! But PA has some crappy roads with all the potholes which doesn't help, and I suppose if I had a car with a bit softer suspension I'd be alright.

You guys that daily drive the Cobra, are, in my opinion, CRAZY!

CA has some crappy roads too. My daily driver has 19" wheels and 30-series tires, and I've cracked two rims. My truck has 16" rims and 70-series tires and the crappy roads aren't an issue. If you use 15" rims on the Cobra, it will handle crappy roads just fine.

Roads in upstate NY run from good to dangerous (potholes, sudden spots of gravel, ect). You know you are bitten bad by the Cobra bug when you start looking at rain and snow traction when you buy tires!

I run 15" tires on my SPF, and don't run the ride height as low as some. In case anyone is wondering, the Yokohama Avid S/T were best in the snow out of all the brands I ran through the years. Sadly, they are no longer available. I bought an extra set when I heard that they were going to be discontinued, but my last set needs to be replaced soon, as they are getting old. Probably going to M/T next time, but no more plans for driving in the snow...

And Dwight... looking good!!!
