It is good to see I am part of a group of people that think along the same lines as I when it comes to my Cobra.
Who would spend hours rubbing down those fine lines and washing the crud under the car after driving on some of the sh!ttiest roads in Michigan. Only someone that loves their Cobra.
I get out on Woodward ( not at the bream cruise ) and there are nuts in 7 second cars wanting to "try the Cobra". I usually say, "I don't need to...flat out, mine looks better...but you go ahead."
I think Bill S said it best in the opening of his post on page 1.
