Just posted, yet have a couple more to share. Only 300 miles to date, but notable onlooker experiences each time out…

Slowly turned onto a side street, rumbling into first. Fifty yards down a Vietnam veteran turned to look, then stood roadside, rigid, arm fully extended with thumbs up until we passed. A fixed straight gaze at full attention, showing reverence for America and the AC Cobra. I smiled, nodded, and gave him the thumbs up. Yet he never faltered his straight gaze. It was awesome and inspiring!

Today drove son to high school dance in Cobra. Upon opening the garage, several walkers came to see and talk. Then one guy rode up on his bike and asked to look. He’s a car enthusiast as well, lives just down the street. We’ve both lived here forever, never would have met him if not for the Cobra. He has a friend locally about to take delivery on a 50th Anniversary Edition, similar colors to my silver combo, yet no paint involved, just real shiny metal!
