Yeah, Come on!!!!!!!!! Great day. Even if you wussies chose to work! I actually didn't play hookie - it was a regular rotation day off... and man it was nice. I struggled to get up before Noon (working 12 hr nights suck) .. but once the sunshine hit me as I pulled out of the garage at 1pm .. it was all worth. I actually just got home about 8:30pm ... as I had a dept related meeting. I figured since I was already out and about, why not just hang with the Cobra .. good thing I took a jacket and beenie for the ride home.

Saw a new Porsche Carrera owner out driving .. he waved, but didn't want to play . Harleys everywhere! Some kid in a Chevy Z24 Cavalier did a "fly by" ... . Stopped in and talked a bit with a Shell Valley owner in Kennesaw. He was talking about selling his car until he saw mine .. now he says he's modivated to get it back out and drive some more.

Then .. as I was getting strapped in to head home, some chucklehead walks up and asked me, "is it real or a kit?" I replied back with my standard, "do I look like someone who drives a $350,000 car?" - then he makes an even more stupid remark than before .. with a smart alect tone to this voice, "oh, I don't know .. I know alot of people in Fulton Co who own real ones and they drive them all the time." .. I gave him my "you're an idiot" stare for a few moments and said, "Mister .. there were only 1000 original Cobras made in the mid-60s, there's not a BUNCH of them IN the greater Atlanta area, and the few that are around here that are Originals .. aren't driven on the street on a regular basis." .. He tried to change the subject to SCCA racing and I fired the engine up and left. Always one in a crowd I guess.
