nyg has the buffoonery gig down pretty good, its entertainment? Goes beyond that. He knew answer before he asked, he used words like "found" "original" "reproduced" in question to draw others into his cyber Bullying. Cyber bullying refers to any harassment that occurs via the internet, cell phone, or other devices. Communication technology is used to intentionally harm others through hostile behavior such as sending text messages and posting ugly comments on the internet to hurt or embarrass another person. Cyber-bullying could be limited to posting rumors or gossips about a person in the internet bringing about hatred in other's minds; or it may go to the extent of personally identifying victims and publishing materials severely defaming and humiliating them. This site could be involved in a lawsuit such has happened to other forums. I would remove this whole post because its not "entertaining".
Well, your 1st couple or few weeks on CC have definitely been entertaining. Some may label you as a bully or troll. I think you're attempting to gain some knowledge and be a good citizen.
However, just a few of your "highlights" that I can remember have been calling our Cobras "fakes" or "hot rods shaped like Cobra's", owners have "stigmas" in our minds because we own a fake, Cobra's smell like a chimney's, the suburbs are bad, maybe because you live in big NYC, the Cobra's future will be in the "junkyard," or telling folks their Cobras are junk because they didn't spend $100,000-$200,000 on a Kirkham or Shelby, etc., etc.
Some folks may take offense to it and maybe prefer not to click ignore. Rather they would prefer you go away. I'd file you under "entertaining."
Certainly installing a Cadillac CTS-V (or whatever) in a replica or "Have you vinyl wrapped your fake?" are always good for a laugh from me at least.

Where I live presently is not a big deal. I also live in LA and some weeks in Chi-town and Miami. Home is home.
They are all fakes unless u have the real thing and the best of the fakes are Kirks and CSX. I don't see many owners going from Kirkham to FFR, unless they hit a financial crisis or family divorce.
I am building a hot rod shaped like a Cobra and that is the true. It won't have any Cobra badges and I won't call it anything else but a hot rod, maybe a rat-rod with Mad Max touches.
Nothing wrong with a Chevy, Caddy or olsmobile engine in a hot rod. Paint? Why bother. Just vinyl wrap or plastic dip. It is just a toy.
I see a pattern of historical inaccuracies and comments I don't appreciate.
Sure, you can call them whatever you want, but why go out of your way to call them "fakes" and "hotrods shaped like Cobras".
Are you just trying to piss people off?
Check your history, they started as race cars, that's why they look like that.

Don't worry about naysayers; they got the wrong history. It is your car and your money. Personally, I like the street look.
I would compare the 'side pipe' look to modern import car guys putting cartoon-like rear wings and racing/parts stickers on their street cars. It just screams 'race boy'
Well, if you had said "Beige Paint? Why bother." Then I'd totally agree with you.
For the record, and most people don't know this about my Cobra, my Kirkham isn't painted Chrome. It's actually polished aluminum. Keep that on the down low though.
BTW, San Francisco just called. Mayor Ed Lee is pissed that you don't own a place in The City.
