I used to own "hot rods", had a Corvette Z06, and several Porches. When I had my Cobra the Porsche sat in the garage. Ever since I rode with Carrol over 40 years ago the only car I ever really wanted was a Cobra. When I purchased my SPF I could not wait to have it completed, the car was finally done the same day as the first Cobra Bash in Reno. Normally when I buy a car it soon becomes just a car. It was not that way with the Cobra. Thereapy was working on it at nights and when it was too cold to drive I would just sit in it and let the engine run, just to enjoy the sounds of the motor and the exhaust rumble. I had to sell the car almost two years ago and miss it terribly. My screen saver is my car and every time I fire up the computer a look at the picture and think about the loss. Now I am back to where I used to be and that is anticipating the day I can start over and duplicate what I had. Pure enjoyment and raw power, quite a combination....
