wow,
Is it just me or do I sense excessive arrogance ? Sounds Like the shelbys arent for " regular " people to own. Is it possible that there are people who could drop the bucks for a csx 2000 or 3000 if they really wanted it that badly ?,but maybe just want the best possible compromise that is sensible ? something that will serve the same purpose and carries the name even though it isnt the Guilded original car.Or possibly someone who actually is a car guy and wants to really drive the car as it was meant to be driven as opposed to a poser who wants to boast and possibly belittle his peers by owning one of the "originals",Phalic symbol maybe ?.
My opnion is as with many things money ruins the sport.I've stated before Im a regular guy who started with nothing and still has some of it ,a high school drop out who isnt supposed to have a decent car much less a cobra.But its paid for,and yes if I REALLY wanted it I could have an original,I have enough toys that I could lose to pay for a 3000 ,but I couldnt justify such an extravagance when I would rather drive my cobra and enjoy all the other cars,but I could do it.
I see it all the time in my bike shop,you have the guys who buy bikes and ride them,enjoy them having the time of their lives,then there are those mid life crisis who cant make up their minds on color or style,when they finally decide and beat the streets making sure they have bought under cost .Then they are back every saturday ordering or buying chrome until the bike looks like a tacky christmas decoration.Next year they are trading and then the next,never riding much,never happy ,but they think they are cool because they have a harley.When they do decide to venture across town for a bite or a beer someone will actually talk to them,for a while at least.
It's just a shame all of us cant enjoy having a great car no matter what it is or why we want to own it without all the BS,any one interested in a "regular people" cobra forum ? Tim
