My wife missed the Cobra!!
To my surprise, my wife was the one that missed the Cobra.
After selling our Cobra we went out looking at cars, Vipers, Vetts, and 350Z's. We both really like the 350Z in many ways better than the Viper or the Corvette, but lets not go there. Maybe somewhere down the road if I ever get a three car garage - -- -.
In one short week we made our decision of what vechicle was going to replace our cobra, "Oboy". Having initially thought a Viper would fill the void. We drove a Viper and ride was bouncy to say the least. Not bad, but high dollar cost. We found we rather look at Viper than drive them or own them. Then we drove a Corvette, we felt it was harder to get in and out of than my Cobra was with the top up and didn't have the power I was a looking for, I know, what about the Z06? It was out of the question as its roof doesn't come off. Also I didn't want to buy a car the doesn't hold it value as good as a Cobra.
Then my wife said, "I really miss the Cobra". So I said then lets get a another Cobra, like a new CSX or Superformance, OK? She agreed. Wow, I almost fell over. I really wanted to get a CSX Cobra in the first place. And in checking into a CSX, the 4000 series were $50K for a roller in fiberglass set up for a big block. They told me it was costly to install a small block in these cars and if I wanted a small block I should consider a Superformance. Well I knew I wanted a small block 427 and it would be either a Roush or KeithCraft motor. I had been looking at the Cobra Keith had for sale, the one he ran in London. This one was set up just as I would have wanted it to be and the color was great, black with a titanium strip.
Well, our new baby arrived Friday evening about 7pm. It was a beautifull 2400 pound baby boy. We name him "Oboy II" for more details see the web site my son put together for his new brother - - http://www.venoms1.com
To my surprise, my wife was the one that missed the Cobra.

Warren what a beatufull car, so glad your still a member of our Cobra family. If you really feel the need for the viper and vett and 350z go ahead and get them. Don't worry about the garage problem, I have a brand new 4,000 sq. ft. brick home I could sell you that comes with an oversized three car garage to compliment all of your new toys. Or I could sell you my house that comes with a four car garage and I'll even add another three car garage to sweeten the deal. And who said that you can't have your toys and store them too?

What a wife!
Warren, just in case you want to get rid of your wife, she'll get snatched up quicker than the first Cobra you sold!

What a GREAT story,
Congratulations on your wife. The cars not bad either
Wonderfull that both of you can enjoy something as beautiful yet as outrageous as a Cobra, we are a rare breed!!! Most people just do not get it!!!!
Neat that you can share the experience.
Enjoy the car & that special lady.

I have been suggesting to my wife that we might want to sell the Cobra to get a little of our reserves back and since I probably won't have much play time on my hands for the next couple of years. She will have no part of it and insists that we are going to London next year and just scheduling follow up visits in Cincinnati around the London trip. My wife is wonderful as well!
