I was having this talk with howard last night and then an incident happened today to prove my point. I was telling Howard that these cars have so much power that it definately takes some skill to drive them. Especially since most of us do not drive our Cobra's as a daily car. Most just use them on sunny days and there are long intervals between drives. When you don;t use these cars that often, it is easy to forget how much power they have and how easy it is to lose control of these cars. For those of you that race, this is not an issue, but for the rest of us, it is definately something to keep in mind. Well that was the jist of my opinion in our discussion last night. Then this afternoon. I called to talk about the cruise to the lake this Saturday, and Howard relayed this. One of the guys that was planning on coming to the lake cruise took out his car today after not drving it since last summer. It got away from him and he totaled it. It just goes to prove that these cars require your full attention when driving. I know all of us have heard horror stories of people totaling their Cobra's in various ways. This is just a reminder that it does take a certain amount of skill to drive these cars and like any skill, if not practiced, you lose it.
