When washing the bugs off the windshield at the gas station, don't try to wash the whole windshield from one side of the car. Doing this caused me to stand a little too close to my sidepipes and took the tongues out of my athletic shoes. In 19 years of Cobra ownership, we've experienced no serious burns, but you really have to keep warning people who don't know these cars well. I recall seeing a guy who attached a flap of leather just inside his door. When he opened the door, he could just toss it out and it layed over the pipe. It stowed neatly alongside the seat otherwise. The leather matched his seats, too.
