I'm 36 and I bought my B&B cobra last summer.

In Jr. high my best friend showed me a picture of a cobra and informed me that it was the greatest car ever built. I soon realized that he was right and I admired them for decades. Two years ago I saw a replica cobra at a car show and asked the guy what one would cost. It was a little beyond my budget, but I started investigating anyway.

A few months later, my victorian house which I had been restoring for 10 years, was burned by painters stripping paint. 10 years down the toilet! I realized God has only given us a few years here and nothing we have is permanent. To keep my mind off my house fire problems, I started researching more seriously. My wife was very understanding and I was able to buy a factory-built car (I had enough projects with my house).

Yes, I could use the money for something more practical, but I can't imagine anything more fun. I don't regret buying my cobra one bit. My heart still races everytime I look at it, and I say to myself "I can't believe that awesome machine is mine."
