I introduced myself and told him how odd I thought it was that 2 cobra owners with the same color cars lived on the same street. He was a little less than friendly but he did talk. Turns out he builds engines for a living and his was a Factory Five and it was his first time out (no plates) to see how it sounded. I complimented him on how well it sounded and what a nice job he did on the build. I told him what house I lived in and if he ever wanted to go on a cruise to stop by.
He's driven by in the cobra a couple of dozen times in the last 5 years since then and I have had my cobra out in the driveway in plainview and not so much as a wave. He won't even turn his head to look.
Some people you just can't figure out !
You never know, the guy might just be painfully shy. I'll admit to that affliction, and that shyness is precisely why I love my Cobra so much...it is the quintessential ice breaker!
