How to ask

[66gtk]

I usually can tell by now what most Cobras are/aren't within a few seconds, but when I stumble on particularly well done ones I do get very curious and I find myself looking for the owner. I usually say something like this: "Your Cobra is beautiful and well done - can you please tell me more about it?" Now, if I'm merely passing by it on the street a wide smiled thumbs up usually is the best approach. I hate it when people pull alongside me in passing at an intersection and ask if it's real or if it's a kit. A simple thumbs up will usually get me to rev the engine and show them some acceleration (:

Last year, I had a guy pull over in front of me at a stop light, get out of the car and approach me. I didn't know if I was getting car jacked or what...the guy just had to know what the heck I was driving. I don't think he's ever even see a Cobra replica before. He simply asked me what in the world that beautiful machine was that I was driving. He thought my car was the coolest thing he's ever seen and just had to know what it was. This guy was in his 50s or 60s, so I was very surprised.
