To be given a Cobra as a gift at age 17 is something totally out of the realm of possibility for my parents. My dad made me pay 100% of the costs of my cars, except the insurance for the for the first two years.
The fact that he had a Cobra at age 17 and did not kill himself or total the car is remarkable, almost amazing. I had a 36 HP VW Bug at age 17. When I was 18 I bought a 60 HP VW bug and I remember thinking wow, there was no reason for more HP that 60. That only lasted about 5 minutes, and then I wanted more power.
The Cobra is for sure a pure toy of a car. 100% impractical at all times except on the track, and for picking up chicks.
