Went to car show today and OMG

Couldn't agree more. "Trailer Queen" Cobras are a disgrace to the cause. I just got mine on the road less than a year ago and already my brand spanking new Superformance has a stone chip in the windshield and a front end containing several stone chips all directly attributable to driving it hard. If the local car show spectators can't handle a few imperfections on my Cobra than screw 'em. I'm going to continue to drive the snot out of it and continue to enjoy every ounce of its superior performance regardless if the local poseurs don't appreciate that it isn't always in concours condition when I stop by the local car shows with it.

As long as my windshield is clean I'm good to go!

The only car shows that are worth entering are the ones that the entry fee goes to RELAY FOR LIFE or CHILDRENS HOSPITAL. Spray it,wipe it off,and clean the windshield! Then DRIVE IT DRIVE IT DRIVE IT!!!

Someday you'll grow up to be a REAL Factory Five owner/driver.

I'm going to have to miss the Mitty this year.

We've been invited to a cookout up near Spencer, NC. It's always nice to "go home", retell the stories and describe the adventures my brother and I had growing up there.

I'll be looking for camping photos...........

I will keep riding and if I open my hood it will be clean,when I grow up I took a bath

Heck I remember you letting a total stranger drive your FFR at Mitty one year. Not sure I would(could because of insurance), but I was proud to be in your company..

About ten years ago on a hot summer saturday nite,my wife and I went to the local Sonic drive-in for a burger.The place was crowded and the only open spot was next to a big 3/4 ton,4x4 diesel truck. We had no choice but to pull in on their passenger side, it was hot,so the elderly couple had their windows up and A/C on and we were next to them with all the noise and fumes,not the best case.

But,anyway,the lady kept looking down at us and pointing to the car, the husband was trying to lean over and see it,but couldn't,so after a few minutes he got out of his truck and came around to my car. He was very polite and appologized for the intrusion,but asked to look over the fastback and what year it was. Told him he was welcome to look it over all he wanted and it was a 65.About this time,his wife had put her window down and he told her:"see,I told you it was a 65,just like the one we had"....

I could see a "gleam" in both their eyes as I knew it had to remind them of something, that's when he told me he had a red 65 fastback back in the day and dated his wife in that car and they used it to go on their honeymoon. He said he kept the car till they began having kids, then sold it for a 4-door family car and he always missed his 65 fastback......

I told him if he wanted to, he was more than wlecome to take his wife for a ride in my car as soon as we finished eating,he couldn't believe I had offered a total stranger to take it for a ride. He thanked me, but declined,said he had not driven a stick shift car in 30 years and would probably burn up the clutch, told him it didn't matter, the offer still stands, he declined again and then I offered to take them for a ride around town, he thanked me for the offer, but declined and said they had to be on their way......

Afterwards,my wife asked me if I was really gonna let them take the car for a ride, told her heck yea, she couldn't believe it.....I said the look on their faces and the memories it brought back were priceless and if he had accepted, he was welcome to a ride anytime......

I enjoy seeing people enjoy my car as much as I enjoy driving it.....Just the way I am.........
