Financing your Cobra...Woodside Credit?

That's certainly reasonable. You don't have to time the market perfectly (be it Cobras, stocks, or anything else); I think prices now are pretty good. And you'll be surprised how quickly you can spend a few grand on absolutely nothing with these cars. Seriously though, I will tell you that I have had (and continue to have) more fun with my Cobra than anything else I have bought in my life. I actually get pleasure from it just knowing that it's sitting in the garage, which is a little nutty -- kind of like posting seven thousand messages to a stupid car forum.

Prices are looking pretty good right now. My SWAG is that you may find some of the best deals at the end of the summer in 2009.

Yep, when I had the Harley I could polish it for hours, then stare at it for a few more. Wasted alot of time thumbing through all the parts mags for the next thing I was gonna put on it. I only gave it up out of pure consideration for the family. My wife totally understands, and is behind me on this because she knows how much I loved & miss the Hog, and am not flying much anymore, which was my first passion.
