And, so...what do YOU drive?

Had a street corner cardboard sign beggar ask "is it real" and droop his head like he's disappointed when I said no. Needless to say it didn't sit well with me. I said "sorry to let you down" and the expression on his face of suddenly realizing his social standing was priceless... to his credit he "got it" pretty quickly.

I have driven classic iron for years, but only recently got a Backdraft Cobra. Same response I have given for years when asked what it cost: "I have no idea...I married well. And highly recommend it."

Priceless - really?????
If reminding someone of their struggles while you're in your Cobra is priceless to you, well I'm sorry but that doesn't sit well with me.

We're pretty lucky to be able to drive these cars. Wouldn't it be nice if we could be humble and friendly to anyone who took the time to ask a question about your car?

I guess with a typical ERA running around $80 to 90k complete - you could say "It's not real but it cost about 16 times more than the real ones did back then."
