Default What has YOUR Cobra been mistaken for?
Took a ride in the Cobra up the coast to Davenport on Sunday. Went into the market to get something cool to drink, and as I perused the selection of Kern's nectors (hmmm, Peach, or Apricot?) I heard a guy at the counter exclaim:

"Did you see that car out there? That is so cool! What is it? A Triumph? A Spitfire?"

I was pretty sure my Cobra was the only roadster in the small parking lot, and the response I heard confirmed they were talking about my 289 FIA:

"I dunno. But the inside of it looks like a fighter plane or somethin'."

Okay. I've been asked if it was a Corvette. It's been mistaken for a Triumph or a Spitfire.

What else you guys hear from Joe Random Public?
