However old you are now - if you dont do it now , ----

will you look back on yourself in 10 years and say you were glad you didnt get a cobra>? , -- nope,- I didnt think so.

Building the cobras has been the single most rewarding chapter of my automotive adventure to date.

First , the car stuff. -
I have created a car from component parts. -- generated a living thing from boxes.
experienced personal expression of car freedom without cutting up 44 year old sheet metal.
Drive a car that continues to teach me that I need to respect the power available.
Remember that and all the sophistication in how its operated involves "human software" as opposed to my BMW which is a transportation appliance.

Now the personal ;
The wife loves the car and loves to go for rides ( even on Christmas eve)
you will meet new friends and go on great drives
cheaper than a therapist
people will stop you in traffic and ask questions
cooler than a corvette (even an old corvette) just ask Rodknock. --
Your mother inlaw who drives a 1993 ZR1 will think you are a cool-dude.
Your Freinds with Ferraris and astons will will think you are a schmuck as your tune-ups are an FL-1A, some oil and 8 off the shelf plugs. --and you can sit in traffic.
your friends will introduce you as " the guy with the cobra".

Finances - make sure the roof is good, and get yourself an SPF.
--aaaand you CAN do it for under 70K.
