Default Great points, usage type and gear ratios especially

I will be using the car daily, mostly to go to the gym (great way to get psyched).

With me, it is all about the aluminum, balloon tossing aside.

I really don't even care if it is a Cobra--there are other all aluminum cars to be had like the Lynx (D and C type Jag) and a few limited run copies of the 550s Spyder James Dean drove under a tractor.

I just figure the Kirkhams have done it long enough and in sufficient quantity to be the best of the alternatives.

There is just something about hand wheeled (and I know some parts of it are stamped now but that is life) superleggera type cars that represent an era in motoring that will never be equaled by space-ships and computer chips.

I just don't understand why anyone would want a sports car with a paddle shift.

Again, chocolate and vanilla.

Thanks again for REALLY great feedback, I'll be heading back to the nursing home now.

PS: Ren was the mean one.
