Out for my weekly spin thru the ‘hood and a big guy waves at me as i go buy. It looked like he was trying to wave me down so i stopped, backed up and shut it down. He comes over in flip flops, shorts, t shirt, all 350 plus pounds and is very excited about the cobra. The usual “is it real?” What engine etc and it looks great. I say thanks etc, then ask him if he wants a ride. Guy is 67, limps badly, extremely large, all of sudden cannot believe I am offering. He says “you’re kidding right?” Nope say I. Jump in. I have a lonestar with the longer body, doors etc but he has to sqeeeeeeze in. Looks on his face are priceless. Smiling like he won the lottery. So we go around the block and he is just over the moon. Get back to his house and I have. To help him out as he is crippled up from back injury, but happy as a lark. His wife takes a picture of him next to they car and after a few more minutes of chat. I depart. Another happy customer. Probably my favorite thing. Get people into the car, take pictures, answer questions, give them a ride. A wonderful way to fan the flames. Get a kid in the car and chances are it is a life long story for them. An adult, well they can dream and maybe move closer to doing something about it. These cars once built are something to be shared.
