Wives driving Cobras

Can't even get my wife to sit in the passenger seat, she thinks my Cobra is some evil sounding beast.

I'm with you. My wife doesn't hate my Cobra, however she hasn't taken any interest in it and didn't even congratulate me and/or compliment the car when I finished building it. That did (and still does) hurt a lot. She hasn't ridden in it and I am not sure she ever will. She believes that it was a big waste of money and that I "..didn't need to build it". If not at 46, when?

As I own a bodyshop and use the Cobra to promote my business (and I have gotten jobs because people have seen the quality of my work), this is still not good enough for her. I believe she will not be happy until I can report to her that I have brought in as much work from the Cobra as what it cost to build.

I love my wife and she has given me 3 beautiful children, but when it comes to cars, she and I are oil and water. My 9 year old son loves the Cobra and rides in it with me every chance he gets, so that helps balance things out somewhat.

On the bright side, I do not have to ever worry about her crashing it. She can't drive a stick either!
