Some of the smart ass responses that some people are suggesting really make me cringe, as I'm sure they do with the people asking the questions.
As was suggested earlier, if the person seems genuinely excited to have seen an "original" Cobra, what harm does it do to tell a little white lie? It will probably make their day.
On the other hand, if the person has a serious interest, tell them exactly what it is without the smart ass comments. It doesn't need all the silly, cryptic and spurious qualifications.
