My comparison was meant to state that there are a hell of a lot of other gruops other than we as Cobra owners that should be under the micro-scope. My use of the BMW was just what I deal with up here in Chicago. The important thing is the age. Yes they pay more but how often do company's refuse to insure these individuals. As for the F-150 analysis I have seen farm trucks in southern Illinois that have no floor boards, the fuel tank is a 55 gal drum in the bed and use the emergency brake as much as the hydraulic brake system. With the money and the time we put into these cars we should be far above most groups. Horse power does not even come into the equation. I have seen several V-8 S-10's not to mention the V-8 Vega's of the early eighties. My first car was a Pinto with a 302 Boss. Talk about a death trap. How many irresponsible individuals can afford a Cobra.
