New to the Cobra world? Have you always dreamed of having a Cobra? Read carefully.

Good thing the Oscar Mayer Weiner Mobile wasn't driving by when he asked his kid which car he should have!!!

But I think he does make the point that before jumping into one of these cars, you should talk to as many owners/former owners as possible. Like anything else you have to do your homework. The more opinions you get, the closer your dream will come to reality.

Almost without exception, at every car cruise I go to people come up to me and want to talk about the car; is it fun? etc. I typically tell them that yeah, it's mucho fun, but for me about 2 hours is the limit that I can take (cramped, loud, windy, stiff clutch), and that you have to drive it like a motorcycle - always look our for yourself because you are so vunerable; and that get's tiring too.

When I first got the car on the road, I used any excuse to drive it (like going a half mile for milk), now if I'm not going somewhere fun to drive, or at least long enough to get the engine warmed up, I'll take something else.

I guess that I'm trying to say I love the car and can't see selling it, but just more selective about how I drive it, where and when.
