Picked up my first cobra! UPDATE TOOK THE FIRST DRIVE
Well I figured it was time to post up that I'm an official first time cobra owner! I started looking at cobras about a year and a half ago. I had purchased an 03 cobra about 2 years ago and while I love the car it was just not fun to drive. My criteria for the next vehicle was that it had to be a 2 seater, have some horspower and be a convertible. It doesn't sound like a hard bill to fit but I coudn't find a single type of car that fit the bill except a corvette and I'm not really a vette guy. Don't get me wrong there are lots of options but the last thing on my list was to spend money on a newer car that is going to depreciate like a rock. So long story short I said oh what the heck and bought a SPF from a local friend. I looked really hard at BDR from Vintage but just never found time to make the trip and never got an opportunity to see any BDR cars. SPF was local and I've ridden in it a few times and ever since I saw it for the first time it has been what I thought I would want if I ever owned a cobra. I can't remember off the top of my head but it is 18XX build number. The weather has been awful since I got it 2 weeks ago and I've not even been behind the wheel yet. First order of business is to clean it up and change the oil as its been sitting for the winter. Just wanted to go ahead and spread the word so everyone will know I took the plunge. I may be one of the younger members on here as I don't even have grey hair yet......who says cobras aren't for the young generation.
