Some folks may take offense to it and maybe prefer not to click ignore. Rather they would prefer you go away. I'd file you under "entertaining."

Certainly installing a Cadillac CTS-V (or whatever) in a replica or "Have you vinyl wrapped your fake?" are always good for a laugh from me at least.

Where I live presently is not a big deal. I also live in LA and some weeks in Chi-town and Miami. Home is home.

They are all fakes unless u have the real thing and the best of the fakes are Kirks and CSX. I don't see many owners going from Kirkham to FFR, unless they hit a financial crisis or family divorce.

I am building a hot rod shaped like a Cobra and that is the true. It won't have any Cobra badges and I won't call it anything else but a hot rod, maybe a rat-rod with Mad Max touches.

Nothing wrong with a Chevy, Caddy or olsmobile engine in a hot rod. Paint? Why bother. Just vinyl wrap or plastic dip. It is just a toy.
