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?
