Default Cobra owner? An interesting question in my PM box

So, I fellow CC member (not named as that would not be ethical at this time, without his permission) here on CC, one with a profile starting in 2004, with less than 200 posts since that time sent me the following this AM:

Hi,
Curious with all of the posts you have contributred on Club Cobra, do you actually own a Cobra? Your gallery shows a couple different Cobra's and your avitar as Mr. Mustang leads me down the path that you may not own one?


My pre-caffeinated response:

An interesting question, not certain I should answer, but heck, I'm game. For the last 14 months I have not owned a Cobra, but had never been without one for more than a few weeks from the late 90's till 14 months ago..Those that know me personally, or through the various web based forums can tell you more, I personally feel to post more detail would seem like an ego trip on my part, so I won't bother, as that is just not me.

So again, an interesting question, why did you ask? Do you believe not currently owning a Cobra makes me less of an enthusiast, or my knowledge base of all makes and models is somewhat tainted as a current non owner? Do you believe I should not be here since I am not currently an owner? Do you feel empowered that you currently have one, and I do not? Or what really motivated you to send me a PM to ask me that question???


Not sure how I should take the original question? Curiosity or something more nefarious? What do you guys think?
