I personally think Rosie is behind(no pun intended!)all our problems.Worst nightmare-walk into DMV and see Rosie or her clone behind the counter.(Turk,I think she probably is in possession of your paperwork on the Porsche as we speak).I went to the auto show this last week,and came away with several impressions.The first is how boring most new cars truly are.Sterile might be a better word.Interesting to see what appeared to be maybe a drop in fit/finish of high end German cars.Paint definately not of Jaguar quality,interiors somewhat lacking in plushness.Lastly,I got a look at the new Nissan Titan(aptly named!)pickup,and most importantly it's 5.6 V-8.It's still my belief that the crossover of Japanese technology with American Muscle is the future of the Cobra.Not high winding four poppers,but high horsepower V-6&V-8 energy efficient and envirofriendly powerplants.I had a precious moment wondering what that Nissan engine would sound like with sidepipes and look like with a Weber-look fuelie set-up.The future is bright for the Cobra,I see it still in it's infancy.Keep the faith Bros!
