At the race track everyone knows what my car is of course. On public roads it almost always get mistaken for a Cobra.

Along that line... I had a 79 911SC... the woman at the McDonald's drive-thru window wanted to know if it was a 'kit' or 'real'.
I guess it can happen to anyone...

Actually, mine was mistaken for a character from that movie too, but I really don't see the resemblence. 
Does anybody else?

Thanks, but I can't take credit for it, my son did it, he's standing by his IROC in the picture.
He sent me the picture just to hassle me a while back.

Cobra Make, Engine: 2001 SPF, Sold =(

When a friend of mine's wife saw my SPF for the first time she said " it's so cute!". I asked her to please point out exactly what part of the car was cute... so I could chop it off with an axe, and burn it.
I also used to get the "is it real?" question when I was getting fuel. It never bothered me, but I was relieved when I sold the Cobra to think I wouldn't have to answer that question for the billionth time. I ended up buying a 2000 Cobra R after selling the SPF. And go figure... every once in a while, while getting fuel, some guy will lean out his window and ask "is that thing real?".

So far it's been mistaken for a MIATA, and a Thunderbird (50's I assume) and a Jaguar.

What is it
The most asked for me is what year MG is that and most girls call it "cute".
Cheers,
Bryan

A marshmelow
But I can see how it hapens.
Lately it has been thats a big go kart.
Can't wait to hit the road.
While out in dads C6 I was asked if it was a new Ferrari. To wich I replied "I wish"
I was once asked if My 02 Mustang GT vert was a real Saleen. May be the cervini speedster covers. Again "I wish"
How come nobody thinks my civic winter beater is a _______?
Oh ya its because there is 8 of them within eye sight at all times. |
