    Car cover?

    Putting the snake to bed for the winter in a week or so. My b-day is coming up so I asked for a car cover that fits my car (97 cobra). What car cover do you own, and where did you buy it? I am figuring a good one is worth 300-400 bucks? Thanks, Chris

    Embarassed: got beat by a civic tonite

    Fast little red sucker. ;) Not by much tho. Rolling start at 30k he *jumped* ahead, from a dead stop I had him until halfway thru second. I was surprised how fast it was. My 97 cobra is bone stock, down to the factory air silencer. The car was clean for a ricer, no wing, no momo, no bling...
