    I though I'd try a different tact with this tread. My automobile tastes have changed quite a bit in the past 30 years (I'm 46). Has yours? Do you drive a different (second/third) car to communte? Does your horse race or is it a weekend driver? Or is it the only love of your life? Why did your change over to your present Cobra, Hyper-Stang, Lightining, or SVT? What was your favorite "Car"?

    Mine is a toy - it is garaged and only driven on the nicest of days. 2nd cobra, and 3rd mustang. Ive owned other hi-po cars, and the cobra is hands down my favorite.
    Daily driver is a 04.5 Cummins turbodiesel 600 Dodge Ram

    Both rides are in my sig.

    The 03/04 Cobra is what I was hoping for in 99. Both are daily drivers. I can't own enough cars to baby any one in particular. I work shift so I drive one on the morning shift and the other on the evening shift.
    Eventually one will be strictly show material until then ... I bought'em to drive'em! :nice:

    Driving a Cobra now

    Driving a Cobra, or for that matter any Uber 'Sang is an automotive event for me. Until a week and a half ago I drove an F-150 becuase there was so much you could do with one of them. Now all the other vehicles are BC *Before Cobra". :rlaugh:
