[quote=Three Peaks;1403705]At least three times in the last few weeks I've been at cruise ins or at the gas station filling up and I've been approached by people looking at the car. The first question from these guys is "is that a Factory Five kit?" Last night, after the question I simply said no, trying to concentrate on filling my tank without spilling gas on the paint. So he says, "well, it's still a pretty nice car" as he walks away....

I sure understand the feeling, my CMC car has been the stepchild for quite some time even on this forum. At first it stung a little bit but finally realized it is ridiculous to let this get to me. My car was lovingly built exactly the way I have always wanted a Cobra, it was set up for road racing and does amazingly well drag racing and I so enjoy seeing it sitting in the shop as do all that walk through and see it.

The comments now make me smile knowing most have no clue, the ones that walk away even better I would not want to talk with them anyway. Over the years have given a lot of people rides all walk away eyes wide open shaking their heads in disbelief. That alone makes it all worth it and the Title has my name on it.
Enjoy your ride!!!
Mike
