Looks like you are set up to do roadside surgery..

Yes not a bad idea though. The old radiator cap can also catch you out....

Everyone knows that gets in my car, the first thing I say when I shut it down, "Be Careful, watch the pipes". My girlfriend got bit last weekend.

1st degree. Everyone should have a prescription for Silverdine cream. It works miracles on burns. So far she's #4 when getting out of my car. If you have side pipes with the covers, it just makes the burn look like a waffle. I met another cobra owner this weekend at the Niftee 50'ees cruise in with no side pipes, my girlfriend noticed it immediately and said, have you thought about trying those??? Be careful out there, these things bite.

Did you tell her "Hell no! it robs horsepower!"

Telling people to watch the hot side pipes is a lot like a wet paint sign or don't touch sign. They will touch them for sure. I used to have a piece of insulation that rolled up and stored along side the seat and you just unrolled it when the door was open and it covered the pipe the full width of the door. I had snaps on it and when not using it I could take it off and put it in the trunk. This I put in just after a guy left his right hand on the side pipe. Never could get the lines of the palm of his hand where you couldn't see them in the sun.
