Used Cobra 1,700+ miles away: drive or ship?

I'm for road trips. I left on a 7,000 mile trip the day I finished one of my cars. No top, no heater. I had a blast. But, I would be hesitant about purchasing one and driving it 1700 miles with out giving it a good going over.

What ever you decide be safe and have fun!

If you like adventure, do the car trip.

But have a backup plan for if (when) it breaks down.

My wife and I flew about 600 miles to Richmond, VA in November 2006 to buy our Superformance. Paid for the car, had lunch with the owner and his wife and headed to the Blue Ridge Parkway.

We had the most magnificent time. Blue Ridge Parkway. A little chilly in November on the Parkway. Just cruising home down the Parkway.

Car never missed a beat. Great trip.

For that matter, it hasn't missed a beat since I have owned it. Bulletproof.

Drive for sure! Take a couple of credit cards and your cell phone. Have the car checked out and carefully inspected on a lift and change the oil at the City of departure and then drive the sucker home!! A trip and experience you'll never forget and will long remember.
