Default But, Dan....my 'Baby' IS my 'Cobra'...

They're actually one in the same!

Dan, it's not the 'security' I'm so much worried about. I'm guessing these cars are the least stolen and messed with cars in the world. Who would steal one - where would the thief hide it? What's he gonna do....re-paint it? I know they've been stolen before - look at Randy Klein's"Mariah", but it was some crazy....and NO ONE can protect from the crazies! A secured lot really only stops curiosity seekers who want to jump in and see what it's like to sit in one, or wonders what's under your hood, and so on.

No, I'm more worried about the weather, and I don't care WHAT you're packin', you can't shoot the raindrops fast enough.... I've been to enough soirees with Porsche Club and had to watch 40+ hours of concours prep time go to hell in 15 minutes because of thunderstorming downpour in Atlanta. Needless to say, it served to 'level the playing field', and definitely favored those who didn't do a lot of prep work. But, those of us who did took it in the shorts - BIG TIME! I'd rather know my car's safe and secure in it's mobile garage, thanks just the same.

Hey! so I'm anal retentive....I don't have a problem with it, okay?

...and I'd be more than willing to take my turn as 'guard'., if need be.
