What is the LATEST recognition your Cobra has had recently?

I finished my build in early January and last Friday was the first time I actually drove and stopped somewhere other than a gas station. It was a Visionworks to pick up my new glasses. The storefront is glass and literally everyone inside stopped to look at the car. When I went inside I learned that one of the employees had told a group that it is a vintage Ferrari...

I was driving slowly down an alley to a friends house yesterday, and went past a father and his young son, (probably 5 or 6). The boy was just staring at the car with his mouth open. As I went past heard him shout to his dad "That's a really cool car!"

Nice to see Cobra's have the same effect on today's kids as they did to us when we were young.

It was one of my first rides in my guardsman blue 460 Superformance about a months ago. Standing at an intersection and across from me was a beautiful Porsche 964RSR. As we passed and gave each other the thumb up, I recognized the driver in the 964 - it was Walter Röhrl with a big grin in his face.

Like that?

Walter was one of my heros back when I was young and got the first taste of burning rubber and race fuel. I admire this man.

I was sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic in Laguna Beach, CA, a couple of weeks ago and noticed the guy in the pickup truck in the lane to my right was leaning out the drivers window with what looked like a metal pole in his hand. Based on the way he had the pole extended towards my car, I thought he was trying to touch my car, so I "some what" yelled at him and he jumped and raised the pole to show me he had a GoPro camera on the end of his camera pole and was getting the sound of my pipes recorded, along with the car, so he could share it with his friends. He continued to try and stay beside me in the traffic as he recorded more of the "sights and sounds" of my Cobra.
