Finally, like Mandela put an end to Apartheid, you could help guide those foolish cobra dreamers into the promised land: Chevrolet.
Nelson Mandela?? NELSON MANDELA??? LMFAO!!

C'mon...

Uh-huh...If Rsimoes were like Nelson Mandela, the Kirkhams and Keith Craft and somebody at Superformance and some other engine builder would all have burning tires around their necks!

Sorry...Can't remember whether I'm supposed to be a "Car Guy" or a...uh...what was the other category...? Nope: I didn't build it but I did write a check. Wrote a whole damn bunch of 'em and I'm still writing. So what's it to ya? I also engineered and fabricated many parts for my car and haven't a moment's doubt that I could have assembled any car I wanted if I hadn't preferred to spend my time driving rather than building. SO FREAKING WHAT? Just because someone doesn't assemble his whole freaking car by himself doesn't necessarily put him in the category of "I can only have a Cobra because I have so freaking much money I can freaking pay someone to freaking build it for me". And if they do, and that's what they want, fine by me, as long as they're happy.

You want to build (buy) a race car? Fine! And You: you want a street car instead? Fine! Seems to me the original cars came both ways, anyway. You want a small block? Fine! A big block? OK by me! Put the motor YOU want in the car YOU want and use it for what YOU want and be freakin' happy!

If more people were more sensible and honest with themselves about having the right cars and motors for them, there would be more guys driving around with bugs on their teeth and fewer cars for sale with 3,000 miles on them.

IMO
