The problem is that once those guys find out a Cobra was not for them, they then sell it and drop off this forum. It would be nice if we had a forum entitled "Talk to Me Before You Buy A Cobra" and had it populated with all the guys that dumped their cars within a year or 2000 miles of getting them. So, as a service to people like Boone, I try and bad-mouth Cobras as much as possible. If I can manage to steer him away from the Cobra hobby, then the Cobra hobby was never right for him anyway. And one day he'll thank me.
