Can't drive my Cobra because of my health, any advice??
Hi folks,
I've owned my Cobra for less than a year and here's the problem: I can't sustain the driving. I have a poor shoulder as well as a bad back (7 crushed disks, 3 broken vertebras) and feel miserable for several days each time I drive it even for just half an hour.
I think I have two options:
- Move on and sell it 
- Find a way to make it accessible?
I'd need to install a power steering, which is completely feasible. The other things I'm not sure about is the seat and suspension.
Do you guys think it's feasible to install a good looking vintage style driver seat? Something like a classic Kirkey. I'm not even sure it would be tall enough to support my neck though.
This is frustrating. I can drive and track cars such as Porsche and BMW. They're comfortable enough for me (drive a 911 on daily basis) but feel so bad I cannot enjoy the Cobra.
Anyone has been in this situation?
Thanks!
Luke
