RodKnock made a valid point earlier, don't know if it was tongue in cheek or not, but still valid.
Some folks don't need to drive them, the car itself can be considered a piece of art work, like a sculpture. You don't drive a sculpture, or a painting, you just enjoy having them around. It's a great conversation piece and for some, that's enough, it's cool.
Me? Being an older Cobra, with plenty of "patina" all around it gives me a certain freedom I didn't have with my newer, nicer looking Cobras. I'm over "worrying about it", another scratch, bummer but what the heck. Will it rain? The car will dry out, it's been rained in and on before. What if breaks if I drive it hard on the track? I'll fix it. I WILL drive it and I WILL drive it hard. Getting a few miles on the car increases your "freedom", and I like that!
