Wouldn't it be better to corral up some friends and put it together so you could at least drive it, then decide?
More importantly: What type of cancer do you have? What is the treatment and do you have insurance?
I just finished getting my seven year-old through two years of chemotherapy for Leukemia, all the while living on the edge of needing a kidney transplant for myself, and in a marriage teetering on divorce. Working on my Cobra, having that distraction, and then finally getting to drive it really provided an outlet for me. Not sure why, but laying on cold concrete in the middle of winter underneath my Cobra while I bled the clutch lines was somehow therapeutic.
Unless you need the money, I'd say hang onto it and use it as a distraction to the stress you are currently undergoing.
Good luck,
DD

Thanks, Doug. My ex and I still get along just fine, but she got the house, she got the garage, she got the money, I got the Cobra, I've got nowhere to finish it, I got the cancer and I got the child support payment. My oldest started college this year. I have to start radiation therapy within the next month or so, and insurance covers most of it, but it doesn't cover all of it. I'd love nothing better than to keep the Cobra, God knows I need something good to happen in my life now, but today's not the day for that to happen, and tomorrow's not looking so great either.....
Unfortunately, I've looked for months for a way to keep it, and I just can't find one. It has to go. Thanks for the response, though. I appreciate it. Hopefully all works out well for you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you, keep your head up. My Dad was the finest person I have ever met, and he taught me long ago, life isn't about how many times you get knocked down, it's about how many times you get up.
