Ya, I know you're fine. I'd be pissed though, because Brent put your beautiful CSX in the same category as those other ugly kit cars. At least in his view.

But you're way better than me. You got this "zen thing" going. I'm ill-tempered.

Like water off a duck's back to me....
As you get older you realize what is really important and what you should be grateful just to have. Don''t care what it is, it's yours.

As far as ill-tempered, HA! I spent most of my life that way and have scars to prove it. Trust me, I didn't grown up with no silver spoon.

Zen-like? Never studied it. Just came to the same conclusions on my own.

Are you serious? Way to spin my words around. Let me guess, work in politics? Ill tempered doesn't even touch the half of it.

Go back and learn to read for goodness sake.

No need to insult someone's reading comprehension here. Bernica's CSX4250 was built from boxes. According to you, he owns a "kit car", not a "Cobra replica", because his Shelby was home-built from near-scratch.

I, OTOH, purchased a complete roller from Kirkham and just had to have someone install the engine and trans, therefore, according to you, I have a "Cobra replica." Not a "kit car."

The other position of yours is that Thormaine (prefers Chevy's) and Jeff McCabe (local member here with an electric-powered FFR) do not own "Cobra replicas", because they don't have Ford engines. They own "kit cars."

I understand your position(s) perfectly.

Am I serious? Yes, I think your position is nonsense. And, no, I'm just giving you a hard time for the fun of it. No one takes this $hit seriously.

I agree with Brent. You dumb.

Mean? I'm so upset about this thread that I'm going to pull my 482 and install a Viper V10, an engine from another Shelby creation just because. Kit car, schmitt car.

You have spun my words so that you can get the most entertainment out of it. I don't consider it funny no matter what Emoji you put on the end of the sentence.

Why yes, it was. By very caring folks that didn't cut a corner on anything. Pretty sure every box came straight from SAI, as I have a huge binder of receipts. It's still a replica, but a good one IMHO.
