Man these stories are great! It warms my heart to read your stories of dedication and commitment to what's important in life, family! I admire those of you who kept the dream alive after so many years of hard work. The time is comming that I will be able to buy my snake, I can barely stand the anticipation! I am 42 and have loved this car ever since I saw it for the first time in the movie the "Gumball Rally". I think it was made in the seventies. I have rarely seen one since. Like many others this will be a dream come true. Not to just own a "Cobra", but what comes with it that many people very seldom experience in life. I think deep down many of us know that one of the perks of owning a car like this will bring back those feelings of belonging, that this fast paced civilian life has stripped away. I did not serve in any wars, I was lucky, I turned 18 when the Vietnam war ended, or join a fraternity at college. I do not know what true commoraderie feels like but I think once I get my snake, maybe, just maybe, I might get a glimpse of it.

Someone said in an earlier post, I think it was Scott, that we owe it to our children to teach them what a real muscle car is like. One of the first people to go for a ride in my car will be my daughter and nephews. He's right, I want them to show them what real, unadulterated, raw, carburated, horespower is like. Like the saying goes, "There's no replacement for displacement"!

I appreciate all of your comments on this forum and to the people that maintain it, God bless.
