Slinger,

You got to be sure, not to make Cobra Widows out of the wives; get them involved. In my case I was fortunate, it just happened. I took her to a car show and then to an Upstate Cobra Club Summer Run, where she got to see Cobras, and she was hooked.

She in fact became my second wrench when we built our Cobra.

It sometimes seems that she's itching for the Winter and snow to be gone and warm weather to set in, more than I am. She can't wait for us to get out on the road with the Cobra.

It amazes me how she'll sit through any one of the given shows on Speed TV without getting bored. And, whenever there's a classsic or hot rod show on, or old racing films, she's always keeping her eyes peeled in hopes of seeing a? A Cobra, of course!

Lineslinger, I wish I could give you the magic formula to make that happen for you, but I'm dumbfounded that it happened to me. I was sure when I started the Cobra idea that she was going to be a Cobra Widow.

Hey but if it's any consolation, she still complains about my other habits like hunting, playing guitar, my interest in politics, hanging with the fellas doing beers, etc.

I'll see if I can a get an audience with the Big Guy who controls these kinds of things and put a good word in for you and yours'.

But take her to the WOW and while there make her, and not the wheels, the center of your attention. It never hurts to pick a set of wheels and tell the lady that the set you picked reminds you of her. The wheels are her style... fast, sleek, use your imagination.

Good Luck,

Tony
