Hey Pirate, your neighbor is not worth the bruised knuckles. He's either pulling your chain, or not of this Earth to keep asking if your car is a Vette. The hood, and trunk emblems say "COBRA", don't they? The side emblems say "Powered by FORD", don't they? Most all born here American males (and a substantial number of females) over 40 years old can spot, hear, and identify a Cobra a mile away.

For this guy, just say to yourself, "Forgive him father, for he knows not what he speaks. He is an infidel not born of this Earth". Let discretion be the better part of valor, and walk away.

Now if somebody at a car event where car savvy people gather asked you that, then, by all means, paste him! He's a Chevy guy pullng your chain.

But if you really want to have some fun, drive your Cobra to a Harley-Davidson event. (A Cobra has been described as a Harley with 4 wheels anyway). When these guys honor you, ask you dozens of questions, peer under your hood, and complement you on your build. Feel genuinely honored. These guys mean it, and it takes a lot to get their admiration and respect.

But another fun thing to do is drive your car to a Ford dealer (any Ford Dealership will do, but the more performance oriented the Dealership is, the more profound the the effect will be) park it in front of the showroom, open the hood, and walk away. Talk about ants around a sugarbowl! Within 20 min, the entire staff of the dealership is surrounding your car wondering who it belongs to. Plan on spending from 1 to 4 hours with these folks describing the car in detail, and bench racing. This is the ultimate ego trip for a Cobra owner.

I tape a brief writeup of the car to the passengers side sun visor describing the car when the car is parked. Curious folks appreciate this.
