"When will it be done? " usually asked by my fellow Cobra club members, and a few neighbors.

Just started my build two weeks ago; best question was by a non-carguy neighbor:
"What the ---- are you building now?"

"What are those" as they point to the quick jacks. Aside from is it real, I think thats the second most question. Oh and how much does it cost.

I don't get any one question as much as I get:
"My neighbor had one of those once."

I had to explain what a Cobra was to a 60yr old man this weekend. Shelby Cobra? Blank Stare...  I'm still confused over the whole situation..

I've had it since July and by far "Is it real"? Is it real what? You older owners must go nuts! Really can't say what I say. Screw it. I'm saying yes from now on. Don't I look like a Multimillionair???? 209 |

I have had several little kids ask " how fast will it go" with a look of wonder in their eyes.

Besides the "is it real" which we have beaten that topic to death..the next questions is a tie,
1. How fast does it go?
1a. How much did it cost?
and almost as much as:
1b. how long have you owned it?
my .03 worth,

Obviously the most frequently asked questions are "is it real?" and "how much did it cost?" But the very first question I ever got, minutes after I picked the car up from the seller, was from a guy in a clapped-out mid-1980s Camaro. He said, "Wanna race?"

Definitely : Why is it taking you so long to build it ? Thats a family favorite.
Followed by "How big is that engine ?"

When I go to a show or a Cruise-in I always put up a small sticker that say: LOOK DON'T TOUCH AND DON'T ASK THE PURCHASE PRICE.
