[Edley Rondinone]

Was at a birthday party for one of my friends family members, and of course I parked the Cobra at the street end of the driveway, so party-goers, passersby, and drivers all HAD to see the Cobra, in all its glory!
I happened to look out at the Cobra, and there was this middle-aged man looking at the car, and he had three high-school girls with him. I went out and talked to them, and it turns out they are exchange students from Germany, Spain, and Russia. They were driving home, and spotted the Cobra! (natch!)
All three girls said it was a beautiful car, and I asked them if they would like to take turns riding in it, and I would be glad to take them. Their eyes got really big, and the three girls conferred with each other, and somehow the Russian girl was the first to go for a ride.
After the obligatory "Dont burn your legs" speech, and a short lesson on entering the Cobra, we were on our way down the road about a mile, where we got on the freeway for a bit of spirited driving. She didnt say much during the ride, but when she got out, she couldnt stop smiling and talking to her friends.
The German girl was next, and she was a lot more vocal in expressing her feelings as we tooled down to the freeway, and she said how much she wanted one of these cars.
But the most vocal, LOUDEST one was the Spanish girl, who kept up a good car-themed commentary on our whole trip, including a few "YA-HOOs" as we toodled down the freeway!
After all three had their rides, they thanked me ever so much, and the man stuffed a $20 bill into my pocket, for "giving these girls the thrill of their lives!"
