Professor Chaos logs-in:
Tomorrow, I pay for and drive away in my first Cobra, a white-over-tan (leather) '96 with Mach 460 sound, Borla Cat Back exhaust, a Bassani X-pipe, a SuperChip, a K&N filtercharger, and strut tower braces.
The car belonged to my friend Dave--a devoted Cobra enthusiast and talented mechanic--and has been especially well-maintained, has been detailed professionally every two-to-three months and has had the oil changed religiously at 3K-miles, with only top-of-the-line fully-synthetic oil.
I formerly owned both '90 and '89 Probe GT's (no booing and hissing, please). ;) When the '89 "Rectal Probe" gave up the ghost--dad-gum failure-prone cooling fan circuit led to a turbo-cooked motor--, I decided to replace the Probe with a "real" sports car--one that will always be worth re-building and restoring. In short, since I ride a motorcycle almost exclusivley--and have been riding one exclusively for the four months since the Probe GT died--, I plan to buy no other car--ever--(unless I become very wealthy and can afford to pay cash for an '03 Cobra--for Barrett-Jackson mothballs and for flirting with pretty women). :) ...Car payments are a real drag, so if I can't pay cash for a car, it ain't-a-gonna be my car. Thus, I'd rather occasionally spend money on maintaining and restoring a Cobra than to pay interest on a loan for something I wouldn't like nearly as much. (Fooey on the recent trend to "stylishly" waste money on bloated, over-priced SUV's! Why follow the "broad path to destruction" when you can spend money and driving-time more intelligently?)
I have no pictures of the Cobra yet, but you can check out my "everyday-driver"--a tricked-out Honda VTR1000F--at the following link:
