I get LOTS of thumbs up, and LOTS of admiring questions and looks. It indeed slows you down if you are polite to everyone. Plan a little extra time for each trip.

Is it a time machine? All I can say at this point is that it's a sight better than Austin Power's shaguar !

and brings smiles and awe from strangers--not many things in life can do that

these are the answers to all the, is a cobra worth it questions .

Dose it attract attention you ask? yes it dose !! this brings up the golden cobra rule along with a moral to the story. About 10 years ago i was watching monday night foot ball. The camrea was panning the crowd between plays,as the camrea stopped on a beautiful woman Frank Gifford blurted one word, "perfect".
In the next instant the womans hand rose to her face and she prompty stuck here finger into her nose in front of god and millions of viewers around the world! There was a brief silence from the broad cast crew I was still rolling on the couch cracking up when the silence broken, once again by a quick witted Frank Gifford "well nearly perfect!".

moral/golden rule. never EVER pick your nose in a cobra! somone is always watching... that by the way is a true story.

--what will seem kind of odd, is that your name will become well known, and everybody will have become your buddy. Example: In talking with a guy with a nice Vette and a couple of bystanders at the car wash, one of them started talking about his buddies cobra. After hearing him rattle on about the cobra for a while, it suddenly dawned on me he was talking about MY COBRA! Since we were all strangers to each other he had no idea who I was. I asked who owned it and he gave the right 1st name and a butchered version of my last name and he knew where I lived (not the actual street address - but he had the right subdivision). Made me kind of nervous. I let the conversation run its course - keeping my mouth shut as to who I really was. Obviously people remember the car more than the driver! I hadn't realized that I had become a local celebrity.
