Well, we both step out of our cars and I offer to him to have the little girl not only sit in the car, but what if I take her for a gingerly ride around the block? I will never forget the look on her face when I had her strapped in and fired up the car. Priceless.

We drove around the block, never exceeding 3,000 rpm nor 20 mph, but she had a smile on her from ear to ear. Told the Dad to come back next week and then it would be his turn.

That's what these cars are all about. Too bad we have a couple bad eggs that don't get it and bring Rover with them. I had more fun making that little girl's day for those 5 minutes than the 2 hours I spent at the show.

That was what I truly loved about flying- sharing the experience with others. I'm bringin that same attitude with the Cobra

Waytogo Dean!
