Gosh guy's, your all making me feel so much better, that I wasn't the only one, with 20/20 hindsight
@Three Peaks, I was wondering where that Cobra went? As I have lived near Tacoma my whole life? I would have been out too, since in 73 I had just finished High School. I did try to get my father to buy a Cobra back in late 63 (I was what 8years old?) But my dad being a sports car guy, did buy a new Volvo P-1800, because it had two jump seats, for myself, and my little sister. We lived in a very small town, and 99% of the people thought it was Ferrari
He even put wire wheel's and Lucas Flamethrower's on it. Dad was a pretty cool guy.
