Not Ranked
I bought my Cobra from a guy that had put about 5000 miles on it in something like 6 years. Same problem as above, and the wife was tired of having to park HER car outside the garage.
So why didn't he drive it? One reason was he never drove it in the rain (and it rained a lot where he lived). If he did drive it he would wipe it down and baby the fine paint every time he took it out. I found myself doing the same thing when I first got it. Then you think twice about "driving" it because it's such hassle to take care of when you "get home".
Now? Heck with it, I DRIVE it! Got some chips in the paint up front, it might stay "dirty" for a couple of days, whatever at least it is no "garage queen". My friend drives his Cobra DAILY. Yup, it looks like it too. I ADMIRE him! The car has a certain personality, it says, "I'm a REAL car, drive me". Nice paint? Get over it and be happy!
