Daily driver...if you are hard-core. It should be considered a four wheel motorcycle. They are basically 40 year old technology, so if you have some mechanic skills that will help, as a cobra will need a little more attention from your tools than your BMW does. Everybody says they will never sell their cobra, never. Almost everybody does in the first two years (they just aren't that practical and their wife starts nagging them or something, makes no sense to me) I used to drive a 53 Willy aeroace sedan as a daily driver, totally obsolete, only partially restored, about as practical as a daily driver as a cobra, except I wouldn't get wet when it rained. You ought to have a back up car for those certain days, even if it is just a sh1twagon.
