My wife hasn't liked this car from day 1 and it's often referred to as "the red head" or "the other woman." It was clearly a marriage flexer in the early going but she has gotten used to it (I need a toy and my own private time every now and then and she respects that). I've been lately doing some bearing/ oil pump work so I've been underneath the car a lot. She quipped the other day, "You just love having a woman on top." 
So I married a bombshell blonde and get to play with a red head. Life is good.

The Hole!
My wife affectionately calls my car "The Hole"!
Which is short for "The hole in the garage that we pour money into"!

Well, lets put it this way... My wife has very thick curly hair, the Cobra is her favorite hair dryer.

My wife & I have wanted a Cobra for 25 years now. The kids are grown & out on their own, so now it's our time!
She helps me on it when I need her to and I think she is almost as anxious to get it finished as I am.

My wife of 32 years (miracles do happen!) didn't enjoy her snake bite but
that hasn't been repeated. She does enjoy riding in it and going to cruise-ins
where she can talk to the wives of other Cobra friends there. She has no problem handing me wrenches but I do any work needed. Her hair is short
so that isn't too much of an issue. Too many of her friends have husbands
with no other interests/hobbies who are a pain to their wives so that helps
make me look good. Life is good.

After about 20 min. my dear sweet wife of 30+ years of marriage comes out and sits in the car. She looks around the car and says:
"This is a beautiful car, If I ever catch you ****ing around, I will own this and my attorney will be driving it!" and walks out!" 
I think she knows!

P.S. That's a true story!  |
Cobras are dude magnets. So I guess you will have to turn gay before something like that would happen.
My wife is supportive but strictly a passenger on cool days. She sees how people (guys mostly) are attracted to the Cobra. Most think you are rich and so she went out an bought a shirt that says "GOLD DIGGER" on it to wear when we go for rides together.

My wife loves driving around in the car. I know if I asked, she'd change my oil too (we did her highlander together.... we got dirty.. ) |

My wife hates the car, but loves me more, she would rather have a pool. She will go for rides just to get away from being locked-up with the kids all day, then turn around afterwards and say she had a really good time. Go figure. She grew up around cars as her father was a wrench, which I certainly am not, so for us I leave all the 'fixes' to the pro's.
