Carroll Shelby and the "left over frames" saga?

ME! At least when it comes to a Cobra

And come on, now, video games don't cut it. Simulators either.

Come over for a ride and I'll give you an experience that will make you forget about a love doll, or whatever simulation you speak of

NYG, have you driven a Cobra? I was all set on a Ferrari, Maserati or a Lotus until I drove a Cobra. I haven't looked back at those cars since, unless it was in my rear view mirror.

You owe it to yourself.

I have driven a home build FFR and a Backdraft RT3. The FFR was crap, looked and felt cheap. The RT3 was a better drive, well built hot rod.

Look, these hot rods are fantastic on the open road & wind in your hair experience but they are a sweat box in traffic. No roof, no AC, no cup holders, no radio, noisy, crappy seats, gas fumes in your face makes for a lousy ride.

I'd like to return to my original question. In your view, did Carroll Shelby swindle the public with these Cobras from the 1990s?

Buy a Registry and all your questions will be answered.

I'd also recommend buying a Honda Odyssey. They come with a built-in vacuum and that's a really a nice option to have.

I'm actually thinking of getting a built-in vacuum for my Kirkham, since I'm constantly getting donut crumbs and spilling coffee on the floor.

I'm waiting for the Google Cobra.

Those would be WAY cool. Driverless Cobra's and you can use a joystick from home or office to "pilot" it just like a drone.

A/C in car without a top? You're killing the environment anyway.

Radio? The music today sucks. You must listen to the symphony of your chimney-smelling sidepipes.

Cup holders? Real men and women just put their coffee cups between their legs and drive.

GPS/Navi? No iPhone huh? Anyway, real men and women don't need directions. They always know where they're going. It's a Zen thing.

P/S? Come on, you know your flabby arms need some exercise. And Cruise Control? You know your flabby calves and weak tendons need the same help as your flabby arms.

Heated seats? Your butt (gluts in trainer's talk) is your body's biggest muscle. Big muscles aren't wimps. They can take the chill.

Automatic transmission? Real men and women don't flick buttons on a steering wheel or just let the car shift for itself. Think of shifting the transmission manually as mental exercise to ward off the onset of dementia.

Man - you just about used up my whole library of cliches in the above. I love it! So true. I have a 427 Corvette with monster motor and no accessories and now my little Cobra without even a radio. Real men don't need no stinking air conditioning or power steering.
