Frustrated with superformance

Dang, alright. Boy I'll tell 'ya, this buying a Cobra stuff is just fraught with peril. I think hauss better go back to the motor home idea.

Here you go, red with white stripes. And it's a coveted Brazilian Glaspac -- very rare. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Other-...5a1lad&vxp=mtr

Just wait a few minutes, another blue/white SPF with SB100 will be listed for sale.

I think the color combo and SB100 exemption should be relatively easy to find here in CA in the next few months, but finding a seller who's NOT full of $hit, especially a Cobra seller, could prove difficult.

Nope, I've come full circle. I think a Cobra is absolutely, positively the wrong choice for him. A Corvette, Porsche, or better yet, an old Mercedes convertible... but not a Cobra.

A vintage air-cooled Porsche is only for the most cultured among us.

You must mean a Boxster, Cayman or Cayenne for the less sophisticated part of our society.

Hauss,
It would be easy to read this as an attempt to insult, but knowing Patrick as we do he's actually trying to help you.

Owning/driving a cobra is a little bit like owning a yatch.
By that I mean the image of a yatch on the calm sea drifting peacefully toward the sunset seems appealing and idyllic.
But in reality it can be anything but. The boat is rocking, your skin is suffering 3rd degree sun and wind burn, the sea spray is annoying and unpleasant, you feel wet and cold despite the sun burn, and you are feeling sick in the guts trying not to puke.

It's not for everyone. Only you can decide if it's for you.
These guys are not dream killers, they just don't want you to make the same mistake many before you have.

FWIW SPF are a solid option. At $65k and blue, should be easy enough to find, give it some time.
