Compared to your daily driver? A shi*load. But most of the problems that I've had, in the scheme of things, are really not that bad. Actually, I don't mind it breaking down, so long as it breaks down in my garage (which it has the last two times). It's the break downs out in the middle of nowhere that's a real bitc*. If I didn't enjoy working on my Cobra I doubt I ever would have bought it... and if I did, it would of been sold by now.
