Like many of you, I'm a product of the '60's. 103 octane Sunoco 260 for $0.39 a gallon. And for most of my life have owned musclecars. If they weren't when I bought them, they were when I tweaked them.

Daily drivers have typically been GM's (Pontiacs & Olds). Sleepers. Dog dish hubcaps, and all. The only givaway is a "rumpeta, rumpeta" exhaust.

Got a kick out of daughters exploits with family station wagon cleaning the clocks of local hot dogs off traffic lights. They loved driving "Pop's Hot Rods".

Bottom line to all of this is the humility aspect of the Cobra. It gets a lot of attention. The car is an Icon. There is no place you can take it where it won't attract some attention from folks who know what it is. Be humble when folks want to know what it is, is it original, and what you have under the hood. Accept it as you would being a Hollywood Celeb. You are!
