Do Cobra owners worry about gas prices?

Seemed to do just fine on the moderately curving road and didn't dwaddle taking off from a stop. Perked my interest, so I begged a ride from a gent that brought one to our local car show. You don't notice the difference in quiet much in an open car...just wind rushing at speed as in anything quieter than a Cobra. I guess if I lived in London or NYC, it makes sense....just need a couple of more generations of battery technology to get the weight down.

I wish someone would design a cool looking body shape.

For us commuter peeps, our electric cars look like eggshells.

Well, here's an electric car that doesn't look too bad... Edit, for some reason the video starts in the middle, so "rewind".

Yikes, I think if Carroll Shelby was still alive, he would sue for a licensing fee!

I can't wait for the Ford vs. Chevy vs. Electric motor wars!

And a Tesla is not cool, and looks like and eggshell?

Have you driven a Tesla? You should test drive one. But watch out for cops. The damn things are fast, and handel like it is on rails. The lack of sound is un-nerving.

I was referring to electric cars under $40K.
