My thoughts on what's been posted thus far....

- Obviously these three guys were total A-holes with an extreme lack of respect for their fellow man. No matter what brand of car you drive, no matter how much better you "think" your car is than someone else's, that kind of attitude is uncalled for and just plain rude.

- I don't believe the builder vs check writer deal. I know people from both sides that have done or said some stupid things. There is nothing wrong with paying someone else to build your dream. Not everyone has the talent to do so, and that does not mean they don't have the right to have something they dream of.

- I do agree that people who travel in packs tend to let their oats out more then if they were alone, usually trying to be cool in front of the group.

- I do agree with Rich's post, in the sense that most replicas are not accurate representations of original cars, and that DOES dilute the info, and knowledge of the general public to what original cars really look like. HOWEVER, I do NOT agree that any blame should be layed on the owners of those cars. Obviously, many people just don't care about that, and they build their cars how they like. If the general public doesn't want to do their homework as to what original Cobra's really are, it's their own fault, not the owners of the "uncorrect" Cobra replicas.

Really what it comes down to, is that there just is no general statement or description of this type of person, as it relates to being a Cobra owner. They were A-holes because they were A-holes, not because they were Cobra owners.
