Ernie, in Evan's defense you really "can't take it with you." And if he has kids, the chances are they're going to sell his cars anyway, maybe at loss, maybe breaking even, but undoubtedly not returning what a good index fund would.

Buying what he did makes him happy. Believing what he does makes him happy. Buying something else and having higher money numbers on paper would not make him happy. He did the right thing.

Afterthought -- Even if I had a billion dollars in the bank, if buying a Cobra I would still buy an ERA, and would still spec it out exactly the same way that I did. I would do like Jay Leno, and not buy a real one.

Definition of a replica: "A copy that is relatively indistinguishable from the original."

Since the continuation car is not an original, it is a replica. A replica that is sold Shelby American.

Ernie: Not looking for support from anyone or friends here. Just saying it like it is.

Lloyds: Yes. thats fine. Play the little dictionary definition game now.

Patrickt: Sure you would. LOL.

In actuality this issue was dealt with by the SAAC registry and if you were to use the definition of replica literally as defined by many dictionaries every Cobra after CSX 2001 and CSX 3001 are replicas of the original. So stop with the silly arguments. Geez.

Patrickt: I'm sure you would still buy and ERA as opposed to an original if you were a billionaire Cobra enthusiast. Sure you would. I believe you

Hey, you guys have a great weekend.
