So that was the beginning of the story. As I considered how I would enjoy this beast, I planned to continue auto crossing at the local level, share some good times with my dad running around in the car, and completing a trip to the Tail of the Dragon I had committed to earlier in the year along with two other good friends. People who know me would ask the question, “so which car do you like better, the Lotus or the Cobra?” Although the Lotus is a brilliantly engineered car that is very easy to drive quickly right out of the box, the Cobra is just different in the sense that it represents a legacy and a raw simplicity whose beautiful shape continues to inspire and capture the eye of even the youngest budding enthusiast. Additionally, the Cobra community of individuals is one which is woven into a close-knit fabric promoting a unique history of automotive performance supremacy. This is a car has a “meaning” that none other holds for me. So, would that long-winded, poorly assembled answer be my response when asked that question? No, not necessarily, but I do gloss over a bit and try to paraphrase in such a way to keep from raising too many eyebrows from those few that might not “get it”. Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut on the long winded answer and just respond with a question to their question….something like…”Wanna go for a ride??” That should prove sufficient enough.
