Thought I would "save" this one for posterities' sake before an edit comes along. Absolutely incredible what some will post with no clue how twisted and stupid their logic is.

My logic is if I am DWI in my 4500lb Lexus I am less likely to hurt my passengers or I compared to a plastic Cobra with zero safety features. Just stirring the pot. I am usually in bed by 9:00 pm anymore, in the last 5 years I am lucky to have driven drunk 1 time, the 5 years before that........

And you have no concern for other people you could kill? I'm glad I don't share a road with you.

That's at least twice that you've been an inconsiderate moron and potentially no better than Wilson. The only difference is that you got away with it and he didn't.

Not sure if you realize, but your "plastic cobra" comments only serve to make you look ignorant. While I love the aluminum bodies, I'd be happy to do a little testing for impact strength, bending strength, or any other type of relevant testing comparing a fiberglass body to an annealed aluminum one. If you are knowingly spewing ignorance for the purpose of stirring the pot, that would make you a troll.

A few years ago it was discussed that the frontal lobe of the brain didn't become well developed until around the age of 25 and along with it, the capacity for good judgement, skills, etc. I can kind of see that in thinking back to my own growing up.

I would think a parent would be even more aware of this and might think - maybe it's not a good idea to let my immature 21-year old take my 500 HP/2500 lb cobra out on the road by himself. Yeah, I think if this was good ole Dad's car and he willingly let him out of the house in it - he's probably toast financially.

The kid - we can only hope that he eventually matures to the point that the weight of his actions sink into his mush-for-brains and he realizes he has to live with the guilt and horror of what he did for a long time.

Driving is a privilege, not a right. With that comes responsibility.
It doesn't matter if your are driving a 500 hp car or a 1-ton truck.

Married my first wife at 25. For me the capacity for good judgment came at about age 26.

This is certainly a tragic story with no happy ending. I will say this about the Arizona Cobra Car Club. I am proud to say I have never been at an event that had alcohol involved with driving.
