Who's allowed to drive your Cobra (you ask)?
NOBODY......................period.
Everybody I know has a lead foot and I don't want the liability. Nothing worse than having something like "someone wrecked my car and got hurt" hanging over my head.
The wife? Ha! Ya right. I watch her drive her 540I sport w/ Dinan modifications (about 365rwhp).....(that used to be MY toy before the Cobra) like a bat out of hell. There's no way she will ever get behind the wheel of the Cobra. And you know what? She hasn't asked.
.......Probably due to a couple of the rides I've given her in it. She doesn't want any part of that car now!
