For those of you talking about Harleys, stop the leaking analogy, they don't leak any more. I know, I have over a 100,000 miles logged on them. I do consider the experience similar.
How many of us, while maturing, have gotten drunk on a form of booze, to the point of praying to the white goddess? How many can, to this day, drink that form again?
The problem here is he was first bit and never recovered from the original bite of the poorly concieved cobra. Each time after he looked extra hard to find the flaws. The next experience confirmed what he already knew, the experience was doomed to failure.

For all the " I do it myselfer's" I have owned and wrenched my own cars, sometimes' time does not allow and sometimes I would rather ride than fix. But rest assured when I take it in, I take it to a trusted mechanic and I tell him what needs to be done. Just because I do not always wrench does not mean I don't understand the car.
This post has generated an unbelievable amount of response, like parents protecting their children. Like children we must allow them to grow. The mind numbing responses are not necessary or good for the site. Let his comments fall where they may.
Anyone who has done the research understands what they are buying; some race vehicles, some want to be seen vehicles, show car vehicles and on and on. Accept the fact he was not a cobra person of any sorts and save the post for articles we care are about.
Sorry for the rambling.
