Replica owners: How do you respond to "what year is it?"

[computerworks]

This is wearing me down...and that is never a good thing.

Stick to the topic or...

Stick to topic...Yes, mom.

I think we all understand that when asked at stop light or by someone passing by while you are getting gas when that question is shouted some may respond in the excitement "1965" or "1966" instead of "2007 Backdraft" as the case may be. No real harm. No harm no foul. Kinda hard to carry on a discussion about the car in those circumstances.

When there is more time to respond more deliberately we all should be honest about what our cars are and the year of the car as opposed to the year of the car it replicates.

CCRsAC: I wasn't judging you by your post count solely it was by your words but I understand that when people get upset they say things they really don't mean..

If I added to your enjoyment of this hobby I am glad and humbled. Your welcome. Oh, and if you really not angry stop on buy and we can have a few beers and talk Cobras, replicas and such. I'll even order some hoagies if you want.


JBCobra: Kudos to you sir.

To keep the mods happy - 1965

Evan: All meant in fun, so absolutely. If I find myself in NJ, you're on - I'd love to see your car as I'm sure it's quite nice. As for the chow, let's make 'em wraps - I'm watching carbs, too. Pax.

First part: Now that's funny.

Second part: No problem. I'll buy. As for my car, it's ok. I'm willing to bet yours is no "rattle trap".

Just don't fill your "low carb" wrap with something that rhymes with wrap, but begins with a "c."

I think this question is a bit tricky because sometimes you don't know what the person is actually asking, some people don't even know what the car is replicating and if they want to know what its replicating well its a 65 or so,, if they want to know when the car was actually built that's different so its not so cut and dry like the question replica or not ,if you want to call that cut and dry :-)
