Lot's of good advice here. There are two references above that it's like a Harley, which is true in a lot of ways. If you're not the type to deal with the elements - it's hot or cold outside, the car is loud and your clothes smell like exhaust afterwards (or so my wife tells me), they need tinkering and more maintenance than a modern car, on and on, then this might not be for you. I sometimes refer to mine as my "hobby car". It's not something to drive, park and forget until the next time. You don't pull into Pepboys and ask for an
oil change and a front end alignment. The car and all that goes with it needs to become part of your lifestyle. And, of course, they're not particularly safe vehicles and have none of the modern safety features. If all of this actually sounds good to you, they are a blast to drive, that's for sure. Only you can decide if this is right for you and, as mentioned above, there are a lot of partially built cars collecting dust as well as completed cars that are purchased and then sold not long after because the owner liked the idea of having a cobra more than the car itself.
