It was Dec. 31, '06 I took the car for a much needed ride. I cruised down to the Pacific coast about an hour before the sun set. Lots of people out waiting for the sunset, chilling after a day at the beach, fishing, BBQing, getting ready for the end of the year. I was in my element, cool wind in my face, sweatshirt on, beanie pulled over my head. It was great. Then it got even greater. I check my rear veiw mirror and I see the unmistakable front end of another cobra comming up behind me. He pulls up along side and we just admired eachother's car, smiled and cruised together through a nice long canyon run here called Kanan Road. It winds up a pretty good grade of about 2000 feet, has 3 tunnels, some well placed passing lanes, great veiws of the hills. We get to the 101 freeway and he goes east and I go west. I was out for a little more than an hour, hands numb from the wind, car was running great, a very satisfying way to end the year. Nothing beats a great day on the road driving a Cobra! Well almost nothing. Happy new year to all.
