Default How much and how often do you drive your COBRA?

I've had my replica since 1999. My car was a finished ca,r 15 years old. When I bought it. I spent time the first year getting it licensed in WA and redoing the exhaust. It spends most of the time in my garage waiting. It isn't real convenient to drive. It's loud. You cant lock it up and leave it. I get constant attention, some wanted some not. and I find it difficult to keep from stepping into the throttle. My wife says I really have a smile when I do drive the little car. I do not want any tickets or accidents. Many a day goes by with it just sitting in the garage. It is getting harder to get out of with my knee. The odometer was at 15,000 when I bought it. I may have 3,000 more miles. One loop up the peninsula. a trip to Astoria. once to Ocean Shores, one drive up to Marrvsvile with the club. Last year in June, I drove it out to my nephews in Graham and ended up tying a chainsaw in the trunk because the lid wouldn't close.
