I keep reading about how some people are worry about gas millege ,the hell with that i say, i wont let insurance and gas companies tell me what to drive,we all knew when we got in this cars that they were built to be driven and gas was not a issue.
I drive mine every day for 50 miles round trip and i fill the tank every 4th day,so what i'm planing to keep this beast for long time,until the wheels fall off.[sm=gears.gif]

I drive mine when i can, but not in snow. So if it is nice for a while it is my daily driver.

Update: I did buy me a beater this weekend...97 F-150 Pickup. Actually it is pretty nice. I will altenate between the cobra and it to get to work. The cobra will definitely be my weekend car.

I drive mine all the time! I pay too much a month for it to let it sit in a garage and collect dust! I do have another car to drive, but my problem usually lies in that I have to walk through the garage, around the Cobra, and out to the other car to drive it. I honestly never usually make it past the Cobra to even get in the other car.

Although I have to admit, seeing a sign for premium gas being $2.69 a gal did make me say, "not today" once.[>:] But with all this 50 degree and sunny weather in Jan. we've been having, I've decided screw the gas prices and drive around just for the hell of it! I love this car way more than any other I have owned!

I drive mine every chance I get. I live in Seattle and believe it or not it rains here. My brother saw me driving it in the rain and freaked.
...he owns a ZR1 Vette.... frickin vette owners.... I told him that Ford had made a break through in technology and now the car was waterproof.
How in the hell can you own a monster like this and not put it on the road?

Biggest question for this is where do you live? If you live where it snows you won't want it for a daily driver.

Get a $500 Saturn or something for a winter beater.

I bought my cobra to be a track car. It burns way too much gas to be a daily driver for me. I drive a Honda Civic as my street car b/c I drive 70 miles a day and my honda gets 40 mpg.

drive it everyday, enjoy it, get the most out of it............dont worry about resale value......even if your going to sell it, so what? have fun in it, its worth taking a 3-5 grand hit in resale (why you would sell this car short of needing to eat, i have no idea). dont worry about resale, gas money, anything.........its a stang, dont baby it!
