Well, in 98', I was bit by the snake and I was turning 40 ... no coincidence here... but had to wait another 8 years before my obsession for the Cobra was fulfilled.

But around 2003, I muttered to my wife that I would rather build mine than buy a roller, but if I turn 50 by that time, then I'll buy the roller or maybe lose interest and thought of buying an BMW Z3 or a Porsche Boxster. Well, she HATES BMW drivers for some reason, and having dated me when I had my 65' Mustang w/289, she probably thought the Boxster's small displacement wouldn't satisfy me. So she gave me the green light for the FFR I now have. The only other point where I stalled was looking into the FFR Daytona replica, but in my heart I always wanted a topless car. SNKVNNM has been a hoot for the last 6 years!
