I was pulled over once by an LEO because he thought my car insurance had expired. I showed him the renewal and expected him to send me on my way, but he would have none of that. He wanted to talk cars! I told him about the Cobra, he told me about his GM racing activities, and eventually he released me...but that discussion was an hour long, as discussions between us car guys can be. I was on the way to show the car in a car show...he was just curious, I guess...in TX the police use "license plate scanner" technology in their cars and the state data base on insurance just wasn't up to date on my info, so he was right to stop me...I thought I'd never make it to the car show, he was so talkative!

We get use to people wanting to talk about our cars when they see us out and about, and anyone who doesn't want to be approached about the car they are driving should reconsider driving a Cobra...they command attention at EVERY gas stop, every meal at a restaurant, etc.

Cheers!
