(speaking as just me
)
Saying that a CSX4000 car is "a real Cobra" to an unsuspecting tourist in conversation is simply a boldface lie. We all know what they infer from that statement. Adding an asterisk-explanation about some rebirth 40 years later is just sort of back-pedaling.
Saying that "no, it is a new car, made by the same guy that made 'em in the 60's" is far more truthful.
There is a world of difference in both those statements. And the second one takes nothing away from an exceptional example of the genre.
Which one you use is dictated on just whose fantasy you are trying to fuel.
I love ya, but you can sure crap up a thread on a regular basis.
