Cobra snobs? What is that?

Is it the guy who says my car is better designed?

Is it the guy who says my car performs just as good for half the price?

Is it the guy who says my car is better engineered than an original or a new Shelby for a fraction of the cost for either?

Is it the guy who says I didn't get ripped off by overpaying for a name?

Is it the guy who refers to everyones car as FPSB? (I think this is an acyronym for fake plasitc **** box)

Is it the guy who says his Cobra is a REAL Cobra (although not original) when others claim its nothing but a replica fakey doo?

Well, maybe some cars are better designed than others. Maybe some cars perform better for 1/2 the price and the fact is the new Continuation Cobras are REAL Cobras. Why does it make someone a snob to point out why their car is better designed, or performs better or is a REAL Cobra in the context of a discussion on the subject?

The guys who can hang out together, like at the DV Fling, and have beers together and laugh and bust each others chops, regardless of the fact some own $130K Cobras and some $25K replica Cobras..those guys aren't the snobs regardless of any differences in opinions they may have.

No, you see to me a Cobra snob is someone who puts others down because of what they have, ridicules them, personally insults them because of what they have and their opinions stated in the context of a discussion on the subject and seeks to exclude them because of what they have or how they choose to enjoy their car..those are the snobs.

So in short a Cobra snob also includes those people who put others down because they don't "race" or go to the track and are just "F'n" waxers, and called or refered to in other demeaning and insulting ways because they just "show and shine". Wouldn't you include them in the category of Cobra snobs??? They seem to qualify as some sort of snob regardless even if not a "Cobra" snob IMHO. Does this type of snobbery bother you?

Bill, you wouldn't know any guys that fit this description would you?
