Whatever it was, it was enough to slow the rotation of the earth!!
I've done my research, so I know......this also proves I'm not just a pretty face

Number one myth is that there is this guy in the UK named "Trevor"

Thanks for the good laugh! I even have a meanwhile very expensive book from him.

Trevor,
I can only assume the car was pointing in the opposite direction and instead of slowing the rotation, actually speeded it up because the days seem to be getting much shorter as I get older.  |

You know certain things i consider myself an ex-expert. But memory is a funny thing and some think they are telling you the truth and have a lack of detail. I say this in a military way...attention to detail. Some are full of it  though and I had a lot of trouble telling people what I did not do in the military.

This is a great post. I'm going to write this down. I give credit where credit is due.
Reminds me of my freshman physics class. Ok you are standing on a lake with a coefficient of friction of .0034 xx and you throw a rock with xx force in the direction indicated. How far backward did you slide......
Trevor you are unbelievable you proved Superman did reverse the rotation of the earth.

To correct Lord Muck, I'm not a Myth, I'm a Mythter and it's rude to make fun of my lisp (thank you thank you, I'm here all week)
Any other problems with advanced higher-plane physics - you know where to find me....

Trevor,
Just explain compound curves in layman's terms and you're in my book!

For compound curves I recommend a detailed study of any Playboy centerfold. As for a written explanation of that force of nature....I'll get back to you.....

My favorite myth is that "all 427 Cobras came with a side-oiler 427..."

My second favorite is that any Cobra at all came with Goodyear Billboards...Guys are fighting on other threads about what tire to use and what is correct. I just shake my head...

The myth that is you put a Chevy motor in a Cobra replica it will lower the resale value or make it harder to sell, what a pant load that is.

If you are a Ford guy, that is fantastic (the FE is a great motor) but put what you want in your HotRod . |

So if you're putting in a Chevy, might as well go all the way with mud flaps and a 'coon tail.

I said this on another loop but I think it will fit right in here. To the Ford only in a Cobra crowd, the I want to live the dream crowd, the I have duplicated the correct number of rivets on my scoop crowd, I got the exact color as the team color of the championship season crowd, I have to have Goodyear on my tire crowd, I tracked down the company who made the windshield wipers from 1963 crowd and on and on. To this crowd a Chevy engine in a Cobra replica may be the kiss of death. But to the I am a car guy, I am a HotRod guy, to the it is not what you buy it is what you build guy, to the I want the best performance for my dollar guy, I want the best performance PERIOD guy, To the I am a Chevy guy, to the I want to able to buy parts at my local Advanced Auto guy, to the I am in Australia and GM is the best choice to get by government regulation guy. To all those guy's the Chevy in the Cobra replica is a BONUS.

Owning a Cobra for me is one of the few things in life that totally makes me a happy person.

Thank you mdross1
I can attest to this. Going for a 45 mile drive through the foothills is real therapy for me.
