Sure, the sight and sounds are great and the attention is OK, too. But, the thing that amazes me is that this contraption works so well.

I expected that the car I constructed with my own hands would be safe enough to get me to point B most of the time. I didn't expect it to be able to win it's class in a regional SCCA Solo2 or a 16 hour Monte Carlo Rally!

Sure, it's taken years of trial and error to get the right assembly of parts, but when I pull into a garage after dusting off a Ferrari or Viper or Corvette or Porsche, it's hard to get the smile off my face.

So, when I look at the car sitting in the garage, it's kinda pretty, sure. But it's capabilities are the amazing part. It makes me proud of my work and also of the heritage of the Cobra.
