I guess I just don't get it.

When asked if mine is "real", I just respond, "I wish", or "if it was, it would be parked in my living room". Most people just laugh and either make a remark about how beautiful the car looks or ask further questions.

Why is this such a big deal to some of you? 99% of the people who ask are genuinely curious if they are seeing an original Shelby Cobra. So, answer truthfully and then see what happens next.

If you're so hung up on pretending your fake, replica, or kit car (pick one) is an original, then go out and buy an original. Then, when you get asked if your $500,000 original is a "kit car", you can justifiably correct them.

Some of you need to get over yourselves!
