HI guys,

Just purchased a cobra and right now the weather is great for driving, but im wondering, what do you guys do in the winter/rainy months? do you drive it at all? I know its not great to let the car sit in the garage for months on end so do you wait for a day that's not raining and take it out for a quick spin? or something else? tips/advice appreciated !

side note: I don't have a top and wont be able to get one anytime soon

Hello Pilot_Guy:
I feel your pain no top, hard or soft, I would not drive the car unless we have good weather, and in NY could be unpredictable.

I'll take small projects to do with the car, upgrades, preventive maintenance etc. The salt will kill the frame so I suggest that to quench your Cobra withdrawls:LOL:, that once in a while visit the "sanke pit" aka garage and play with the small projects.
Where are you located?
Enjoy your toy man this is the worse addiction, but a clean one nevertheless.
Sincerely
Basque1(Lou)

I live in south GA and have a hell of a time figuring out when I want to start time consuming projects because I don't want it off the road for that long! If I had to seal it in a prophylactic 4-5 months out of the year I'd go nuts.
