I'm 44, have a great wife and 5 kids (4 boys) three of which will be driving by next summer (we don't agree as to whether or not they'll be driving the cobra).
I've owned a 65 Jag XKE Coupe, 70 and 72 Opel GT, 1974 Fiat 124 Sport Coupe, 75 CJ5, 78 Trans Am and then kids...Vans (4), Mercury Montego, Caprice, Chevette, Corsica etc. Originally was going to buy a kit car in 1980 but the one I liked turned out to be about $50k, too rich for my blood...when I heard about the F5R I figured the price was right and (like my brother allways says) "I deserve it!"...so...it's at the paint shop now. Curious can see some build pictures at

Oh, and to the Velvet Hammer...I don't blame you a bit...I'll be taking my Cobra to the dock, do a little morning fishing and then back to the car for an afternoon and evening blast. I wish I could have afforded a Cobra, Fishing and had the time to do both when I was 21...your a lucky man.
