Well, well, well. What a difference of opinions!
I do NOT drive in the rain (unless I get caught in it) for a variety of reasons. Rain obviously dirties the car, and requires a wash sooner. In Orlando, people can barely drive when it's sunny out - they are real morons once it starts to rain. I have another car that is not garaged that I use on rainy days. And, quite frankly, the Cobra is not much fun to drive in the rain in my opinion - with all that power, you pretty much have to use the traction control, and then you'll get to experience the computer killing cylinders and applying the brakes and such. And yes, I check the weather before I take the Cobra out.
I'm an ex-smoker, but have NEVER lit one up in the Cobra, nor ever will. I do drink coffee in it. I just don't sling the coffee around in it!
I had a '99 GT that in the 1st year, I smoked maybe 5 times in it. The last time, an ember flew into the back seat and burned a hole in the fabric! :bash: Boy, I was so mad, I wanted to kick my own ass! :kaboom: Took it to an upolstery place, spent $150.00 on the repair, and learned my lesson. My '01 vert GT never saw smoke, and neither does the Cobra.
Luckily in Florida we don't have a great deal of rain - but I have decided to drive it more often. Mine's a first run (picked it up June '02) - 10 months and less than 3500 miles.
My 2 cents.
