20,000 miles in 25 years--about half of that 20K has been in the last 5 years

After a couple of years of mulling it over the wife and I both realize it is time to let our car go. Our priorities have changed a lot since we retired summers are short up here with family friends and all the other activities we cannot seem to avoid it's time.

Sorry to hear that, but I can understand. If you are used to your car being something that you drive a lot, and now it just sits in the garage all the time, it would be a sad thing.

Good luck.

I drive mine at least once a week. Working to add that "patina" the natural way. Never wanted a show car that sits in a plastic bubble - wanted a fun car to tool around in.

not anywhere as much as I thought. Not fun in the summer in AZ. When I first got it, it went to work on Fridays and probably one cruise in a month. Now that I own my company seems I can not get by without my pickup everyday. Also I have 4 toy cars to rotate. I have decided to get some track days in with it. At least then when I drive it...I will be DRIVING it.

I bought my first Cobra on 4/27 of this year. I work two jobs and don't have the time or knowledge to build one from scratch, so buying was the only option. I've wanted one since I knew what the Cobra was, so I've put about 1,000 miles on it in the past 4 months.

I plan to drive it occasionally in the cold season as long as there's no snow. There's no heater so I'll dress as if I'm going skiing. We'll see how that works, haha.

But in warm weather I will drive it as long as there's not chance of rain that day and I am not staying away overnight. I commute to work in it regularly (have regular license plates and insurance for commuting use).

I figure if I pay for this damn thing, I'm going to drive it!

Only in the summer...spring...fall, whenever I feel like it.

Yes, it is loud. Yes, it does sip the fuel, but dang-Nabbitt...it is fun to drive!

Almost 6k miles in about 3 years. Not too bad.
