Ending up with Cobra
Growing up in the 60's my Heroes were the men who drove Cobras, Boss Mustangs, Long Nose Talladega Mercurys, Lotus 30s, Gt40s, SOHC Galaxies, Lotus Fords at Indy, etc. Jim Clark, Dan Gurney, Bob Bondurant, Sam Posey, Jerry Titus, A.J.Foyt, Mario, and Carroll Shelby topped the list. I was a Ford and sports car fanatic so the Cobra was always my favorite. It is as stated in Gumball Rally: "Very fast- Very uncomfortable - A car that is fine for you Macho Types". The great thing is that it does require a certain discipline- a certain mindset to appreciate, drive, and maintain a vehicle of this caliber. It sets us apart from the others because it's not for everyone. Just like driving my old triumph - hot in summer, cold in winter, leaky, and noisy. Just the way God intended sport-minded people to drive.
