Cobra make you nervous?

[Juggernaut]

Thanks guys, guess I just needed to hear that I'm not the first one to go through this.

I don't have a AAA card but my insurance company (Midwest through Robbin) covers towing.

Thanks for the good advice guys!

wtm442 - enjoy the cruise today!

Juggernaut,

I have the same concerns as you. Mine probably comes from waiting too many years to get my Cobra. I think the other guys have got the right idea; AAA Card and a credit card should go a long way to creating more confidence. I am going to get a AAA card (got the Visa card) and not sweat the small stuff.

I felt very nervous taking my car for it's first long drive. But luckily, it was with the local Cobra group, so I was not as worried. I felt even better that it's maiden 200+ mile voyage was trouble free! Try to do your first drive with other cars.

I don't have a Cobra, but I do have a Beck Speedster that we built at the Carlisle, PA show in May of '06 (16 hours from 3 pallets to a drivable car). I've since driven the car from Charleston, SC to Carlisle, PA and back twice (~1600 miles round trip), and have driven it from Charleston to the Smokies to run the Tail of the Dragon (~1000 miles round trip), all without a breakdown. Do a thorough safety check beforehand, and carry a good set of tools and you should be fine. There's no reason that a well built kit car should be any less reliable than a factory built car.

By the way, we plan another Dragon Run this October. It'd be great to have a few Cobras along as well.
