Bill,

This has really touched a nerve with lots of folks.

It is really unfortunate to know that a Cobra owner(s) would dis another's ride. We are all really proud of what we have. The marketplace has all manner of solutions to our desire to have this dream car. Every one of these cars is the right answer for someone. In my case (typical I think), I checked the market out for a couple of years before I pulled the trigger and bought. Sure I ruled out some cars because they were not right for me. But I don't understand dissing the guy who bought something else.

This is all the more outrageous since you were driving a real one!! The Holy Grail!!

ps - It is also interesting to see an element who refer to folks like me in a disparaging manner as "check writers" because I did not build my car. I wish I had the skill and time needed to do it, but I do not. It is a mistake to think that I am not a true sports car nut, or do not "understand" because I did not build it. I have wanted a Cobra since I was fifteen years old. I have owned and loved numerous other great sports cars, but this was the one I truly wanted all along. Originals cost too much. The marketplace for "replicas" gave me a second chance. People who write checks for these things "get it".
