Daughter heads up
Right now they haven't figured out how they will attract boys except for the obvious. Maybe after a couple of years there may be a need to have an alternate draw. Most All teenage boys will flock to your Cobra. Daughters, if observant, will notice this. Right now its style and music and gossip. Wait a few.

SunDude,
If it is OK with you I will post pictures of the car I took at Ross's place last week when I visited him. You WILL enjoy the car. One of the best things about a "Cobra" is you don't really have to go fast to have fun!
Rick

That was a big surprise to me...you don't have to drive it fast to have fun...I enjoy the car on 30-65 mph backcountry roads...no tickets yet after 6000 miles. I would sell the Miata (great fun cars) rather than pay maint, insurance, licence etc...and eat depreciation for 4 years. The oldest girl will likely have something in mind when she starts driving and who knows what that might be.... |

Congrats on the car, you will love it. I have a Miata also that I have thought about selling because it only gets driven 100-200 miles a year. My wife does not want to let it go though.  |

Hey guys, thanks for all the well wishes and comments.
I just arrived home today after having driven the car 500km from my Mom's place near Toronto, and about 100km from the seller's home the day before. To say I'm on a natural high would be a serious understatement...
Wow, what a car! It is absolutely stunning and makes the most beautiful mechanical music. I can't get enough.
And the attention it gets is incredible. People stare and smile and give me the thumbs up everywhere. Some even took photos and videos of me on the highway! Lots of 'em hang out the window at stoplights to ask questions. All the neighbours came over to have a peek and listen to me blab on-and-on about every detail of the car. And yes, I did get THAT question -- Is it real? -- a couple of times.
Now I just want to show it off to everyone I know, who has had to listen to me talk about owning a Cobra one day. And take 'em for a ride, of course.
Tomorrow's forecast is warm and sunny, and I'll be off work for one more day. Can you guess where I'll be...?

Go ahead. I took lots of photos, but haven't downloaded them yet, to post.
Yeah, Ross is a super nice guy and his wife is a wonderful lady too. |

Car looks nice.
It's funny. You don't look Canadian.
