I'm not very experienced at owning Cobras (got my first Cobra 2 days ago!). I'm much more experienced with marriages and divorces at the ripe age of 57. Something I did learn about Cobra ownership in my search for the right one: When the Cobra is sold, it is usually because the spouse did not like it or the family started to grow. You absolutely will not enjoy your Cobra if your spouse didn't want it. By her saying fix these things before you spend $70k on a fantastic car, she is speaking in wifey talk to tell you to not buy the Cobra. I suggest you NOT buy a $70k SPF, it won't be as pretty as you think. Compromise, fix everything she wants and buy a cheaper Cobra. If you buy your $70k Cobra, within 2 years you will be selling your Cobra for $50k because you will be getting a divorce or your wife has made you miserable enough to concede to her way. I'm not a professional counselor, but I've been to enough counseling sessions to learn how women talk.
