Geeze, I step out for a minute and someone presses the play button for Bojangles.
It should be clear by now that Evan lives vicariously through what is printed in the registry and a distorted sense of self-worth derived from the pages within. He doesn't own a Shelby replica, the Shelby replica owns him. He refuses to say "Shelby Cobra replica" because that would destroy the image he has of himself, the one he must uphold in the public's view, remember Evan is the owner of a REAL 1. Evan frequently refers to originals and continuations together, in his mind they are in the same category with equal prominence. In his own words "the wheat", and of course quick to tell everyone else they own "the chaff".
What a house of cards.

Really? If you want a real hoot read temper tantrum #27, Evan tells the SAAC National Director (aka Ron, CC moderator "computerworks") how he should conduct himself here on CC as well as with SAAC matters pertaining to the registry.

Now, does this sound like a man who doesn't really care what SAAC does with the registry? Hardly, the SAAC Registry is Evan’s lifeblood.
This is how I envision encounters with Evan on the street would go down, and have many times -
"hey, is that what I think it is?"
"You bet, a real one, a genuine Shelby Cobra, the real McCoy".
I bet the gold President's Rolex is in full view to support the charade.
The pedestrian walks away tickled pink he/she just saw an original ‘60s Shelby Cobra.
It's unfortunate, the hobby needs good ambassadors, not narcissistic mouthpieces making it a measure of stature and wealth. Note original cobra owners who are in a far better position to do so don't. The irony in all of this is that if the SAAC does decide to go back to covering the historical Shelby's only, it's probably because of Evan being such a prolific actor at misrepresenting the registry, the SAAC feels compelled to put an end to it.
Carry on Evan, you are too far gone to be saved.
