Lineslinger, thanks for sharing you story. Why don't you consider jumping the Amtrak with your son and coming to Kansas City on a Friday or Saturday morning? We will pick you up at the train station and give you two the grand tour of our manufacturing facility.
One of the members, Matt762, recently did just that. I believe he will tell you it was well worth the trip. We can show you sights under one roof you will see no where else in the Cobra world. At the least your "learning curve" will be greatly compressed.
Take a look at
www.premiercobras.com if you want a teaser. Then we will be pleased to spend a day or two with you.
All the best across the miles..... Bob Lockett
