Heck, Keith, it has more space than my house, too. That's one of the benefits of building the garage before we started building the house (and don't think I don't hear about it from my wife).

Cal is one to talk. Hell, I could sell my garage and everything in it and still not be able to afford his ex-Bob Johnson 289 comp Cobra. Not to mention his Echidna. Or his "Pizza Man" drag racing Corvette. Or his Gullwing. Or his...you get the idea. I've been offering to store some of them at my place but he's not too keen on them being garaged 1,400 miles from his house.

Last night was the first time in nearly 10 years that I have not had a Cobra in the garage. I watched Craig drive off in 329 and thought about all the good times I associate with her. I hope he has as much fun with that car as I have. She never let me down in all the times I made the 100-mile roundtrip to work, the 300+ mile days each year for the Texas Cobra Club's annual meeting in Austin, and countless pleasure drives. ERA builds as fine a replica as anybody, IMHO. I decided it was time for something new, and I am in the process of completing the purchase of another Cobra, since I could not handle being Cobra-less for long. I can only hope it will give me as much joy as 329 has--
