Heh heh.........
I would have replied BOTH! ;o) It's a/an FFR thing, Scott
The FAKE part was definately derrogatory. There was no need to include that word, nice car would have been a great reply. |
NICE FAKE
SUGGESTED ANSWERS; GLASS OR ALUMINUM?
"I DIDN'T ASK, IT'S LEASED JUST LIKE YOUR MOTHER'S FANCY TOYOTA". OR "I DON'T KNOW BUT IT GOES LIKE HELL AND DOESN'T RUST". OR "I THINK SO, MAYBE". OR "MY INSURANCE CO. DOESN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW". OR THE CLASSIC "IF I TELL YOU, I MIGHT HAVE TO KILL YOU" B. SMITH |
Obviously...
It was a limp wrist with a jealous streak, trying to rain on your happiness. After all, he's in a lexus :LOL:
Just ignore them and have fun, or tell them "neither, it's titanium" **) |

Aluminum or Glass?
That doesn't necessarily tell you whether it's real or fake. Apparently, the Lexus driver has never heard of the 'glass 4000 series cars.
But I agree with Bob, it probably was meant as a compliment. If he had to ask, he obviously couldn't tell whether it was real or fake. Thus, by saying "nice fake", he was admitting that it looked so good he was fooled and couldn't tell whether it was "real" or fake. Wouldn't you rather have someone tell you that your car was a nice fake rather than a bad fake. :JEKYLHYDE traveller- Don't pick on Bob. I just took delivery of one gorgeous fake designed by his Reebok wearing self. In fact, I like it so much, I may buy him another pair of Reeboks. Of course if I buy them at the dollar store, they very well might be Reebocks. :eek: Bob, what size?:LOL: |

Fits for me. I'd consider it a sincere compliment if he said "nice car", or even "nice replica". I don't see how you could interpret "fake" as not being derogatory. |
Fake or not
Lets forget all the long winded verbage, and just show us pictures of the HOTTIE.
We are able bodied and well informed individuals who are totally capable of determining what is fake and not. :D After all, we all read this thread.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: TL :MECOOL: |
Bob, you own a Lexus? :-)
|
Addendum: He DID say "Nice Fake" in an appreciative tone; I was wondering about the word "Fake." Maybe he was jealous! He NEVER looked at the hottie! (By the way, it turns out the hottie is married!!) Oh well the drive was nice!! lol !! As for NAF, they were/are in Tempe, Arizona. Jack Kube, the owner, still makes Cobra replicas; evidently doesnt advertise. He is currently making fiberglas Daytona Coupes for two guys that I know of; one of them is for the guy I bought my Cobra from.
|
So...does that mean that if it's aluminum it's a real Cobra? Or that a fiberglass Cobra can't be a real1? Please help: I'm so confused...
|
Let me get this straight:
The guy in the toyota was making fun of YOUR car? |
Edley, as my first wife proved so well, a ring closes no holes! :LOL:
|
I didnt want to get into a discussion w/ this individual; he might have got mad, skipped after me and hit me with his purse! BO DUTCH: I dont think he was worth the price of a bullet! WHALER and GEORGIA SNAKE: I am just amused at what people say to me while I drive the Cobra that they secretly would LOVE to have! TOMSTi: You are so right! is IS great having such a neat car to cruise around in! BOB PUTNAM and CHAPLIN: I WOULD rather have a nice fake than a bad fake! MR FIXIT: Maybe he was in so much awe as my Cobra sat there rumblin' and hissin' that he forgot to engage his brain before he put his mouth into gear! (I may have to get a new tag line: "Yeah, it's nice, but it IS fake, but it's MY fake, and I am DAMN GLAD to have it!")
|
Are you sure you heard him correctly.
Maybe he said. "Nice snake!"
|
You must realize that the poor individual was probably quite embarASSed and frazzeled and trying to cover up his ignorance by the fact that your, obviously beautiful car 'fooled' him as he didn't know the difference.
Next time answer his question with 'what do you think?' |
The big problem here is that whatever he said made a difference to you. His attitude -- positive or negative -- is his problem, not yours. You know what you have and why you have it. Comments by others are more a reflection of them, not of you or your car.
When you have inherent value, you do not have to defend it. No reaction was necessary or required to the remarks. You car speaks for itself. |
In the end you have the car. He doesn't.
Jealously sucks and is the product of small minds. |
Is it real ??
well buddy, why don't we wait fot the light and find out .... jk - none of us would ever do that - no sir not us nope never. |
Looks like it's time to get out my old side emblem:

Mr. Polling...
NAF is no longer building cobras. John, I think that's his name, moverd his operation to Superior Az, a mining town, and now builds gt40's out of miata or fiero type cars. Mike |
