Question What is a Cobra?

A fellow cobra-nut sent me the item below. He does not remember where or when he picked it up. I recall seeing it 'somewhere' but can't remember either! Boy, talk about C.R.S.!

Anyway, does anyone know who penned this? I thought of having a tee shirt done up with it, but don't want to pi$$ off the author or get into a copy right fight!! The old saying "it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission" won't apply

snip.................

To me a Cobra is the pure essence of what a true sports car is suppose to be: an engine that's too big, a body that's too small, tires that are too wide, pipes that are too loud, seats that are too low, no a/c, no heater, no windows, no roof, no outside door handles, no foot room, no radio, and absolutely, positively no excuses for one damned thing.

Too noisy? Tough.
Too low to the ground? Tough.
Not enough foot room? Tough.
Too hot? Tough.
Too cold? Tough.
Is the sun in your eyes? Tough.
Is the wind messing up your hair? Tough.
Have to step over the side-pipe? Tough.

Get in, sit down, hang on, and shut the hell up while I show you what a REAL sports car is suppose to do.

No excuses. Now THAT'S what a Cobra is all about to me. And that's why I like it.

Whoever did this, really captured it didn't he?
