I keep reading through this thread and the stories are great!
Makes me wonder what will happen around where I live....small town in upstate NY.

My cobra will be legal to drive in a few months, so I'll be ready for summer 2011.
I've driven it twice up and down my road and around the corner though to test it out.

It has already gotten alot of attention while I was working on it in my garage including

Local cops came by to check it out and tell me about their Fords
Probably about 1/2 dozen various people driving by, then backing up, then asking "IS THAT A COBRA!". And then getting out and coming to check it out.
My immediate neighbors are always coming over when I am out there to see what is happening next as well.
One of my neighbor's who has been retired for a while has a Northstar Cadillac and he said he would race me because his Caddy is fast.

Then in the 10 minutes (tops!) I have actually driven it up and down the street, I had two people stop their cars and get out and take pictures of it.

The folks at the local NAPA store (and several of our friends) think I should put it in the local town parade to offset some of the smokers that people drive in it.

Can't wait to take it to some shows next year after it is really down.
Can't wait to just drive it to the grocery store/etc.

Keep the stories coming! I still have about 40 pages to read through
