hi, i LOVED having my cobra for around 4 1/2 years. It was perfect almost every minute- except those few times i was left stranded!- and being a part of the Texas Cobra Club, DFW branch, was absolutely the best!
I met many many folks around texas, and well really the country- as i trailered my car to Tulsa several times, Run n Gun, and even made a visit to London Cobra Show. The only thing i didn't do that i wish i had was to go to California for their cool thing. Can't remember the name of it....
Now it's something about hwy 1 or such.
The main thing i would recommend is to get involved with your local club- and see what things go on in your area, state wide too. Reptile Roundup is in the Florida, Ga area, and probably other things as well.
I have actually made personal friends with several of my Cobra buddies, and i think that is pretty awesome right there.
My husband enjoyed riding in the Cobra, but never drove it. He did ask once......
anyway, i didn't feel that the Cobra was a good car for him to drive. He has driven the 500 a few times.
David rarely attended events with me, as i used my 'car time' as mommy get away time, but occasionally he would come to a monthly dinner or such. My closer friends in the Dallas group have met him several times.
You can get a lot of help and support in whichever club you can find. If you don't have a local Cobra club, you can join a hot rod group, or a classic car group. Mustang groups are very welcoming of Cobra's, too.
Have fun, and make friends with folks you think are worthy of your time.
Club Cobra is an excellent source of information, and very reliable and quick.
I am very glad i was part of the CC community for so long.
I wearied of some of the posters, but generally had a wonderful experience with CC, the Texas Cobra Club, and the DFW area club.
I may be gone.... but never forgotten and i will come and go when i can.
Club Cobra has several women that frequent it, but of course not a lot in the big picture of the total membership.
Have fun!
