[Dangerous Doug]

Well, getting back to the original discussion about a largely misinformed public (courtesy "blow-hard Cobra owners").

I think Tommy is correct in his original assessment: I think quite a few people recognize that a blow-hard Cobra owner is blowing smoke up their a$$, hard. I've been given the "it's a real Shelby Cobra because Carroll Shelby authorized the SPF" lecture (disclaimer: I have an ERA), but I have also met several SPF owners and have friends with very nice SPF's who don't play the "licensed by Shelby" card.

I can recognize a blow-hard, of any Cobra make, and I smile, nod, and earnestly try to extract myself from their monologues so I can hang out with people I enjoy being around. I think most people except for the very naive can recognize the blow-hard behavior and dismiss it.

It's a pity that there is so much misinformation about these awesome cars.

It's pathetic that the misinformation about Cobras is due to members of our own ranks of Cobra owners, vehemently attempting to publicly rationalize THEIR personal choice in Cobra replica by denigrating others.
