I'm not,still betting he was all jazzed up from watching the races.People were of course eyeing him when he headed out too.
So,he ran out of smarts and skill all at the same time.
Loose nut behind the wheel.

I don't know about that. Right after I typed my last message I was thinking to myself "how fast could I react to a busted carb spring?" I used to be pretty fast, but every year my reactions seem to get slower. And just as I was thinking that to myself, while sitting in my easy chair with my laptop on my lap, a puff of smoke came out the side of my laptop and drifted up through a sunbeam coming in through the window and I immediately thought to myself "what the hell is wrong with my car now?" It took me a good second and a half, maybe two, before I realized that I was not driving my Cobra but rather was sitting in my easy chair typing on my laptop. Absolutely true story. Perhaps I just need more sleep, but I think after that they probably would be fishing me out of the creek as well.

That may be what 40 some percent of the people thought was funny. I liked the "shiny silver kit car" line myself.
I see that Chevy is going to offer an option on the new 'vette that allows the owner to build their own engine...supervised of course. Will that now be a "kit car"??LOL. It looks to be close to 6K to assemble your own engine. If that's what it cost to assemble your own engine, it must be outrageous to have one of their highly skilled "technicians" do it. But shouldn't you get a discount??

So you are now confusing your Lazy Boy with your Cobra? Probably about time to get you wearing Depends and drinking Ensure.
Any Cobra upside down in a creek is sad situation. But especially a polished Kirkham.

Go to Pep Boys and buy all the Chip Foose power-balls and polish you can!
Glad the guy was not hurt bad.
