Valigator's looking for a new car

[fabsroman]

Yes, I know what the original Cobra is. It is a 2 seat convertible that is super fast and it handles extremely well. It was also featured in the movie Bad Boys with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Don't know if the Porsche turbo in that movie would have actually caught the Cobra, but it is a movie.

What is really sad is that the Cobra 427 side oiler was going for around $60,000 about 10 years ago. Then again, this townhouse I am living in was built 7 years ago for $157,000 and now it is going for $425,000. I guess my earnings have increased to that same degree, but it continues to make things (i.e., Cobra, 66 Mustang Boss 428) out of reach. As salaries rise, so does the cost of everything.

I have been debating building a Cobra kit car, but I just don't think I have the time or facilities right now. Haven't even made room in my garage for my current Mustang, so I think my wife would kill me if I started building a car in the garage any time soon.

Life could be worse.
