The day after my car was delivered - a little over a month ago - my wife and I took it for a ride up the California coast, from San Jose to north of San Francisco and back. We were cruising just north of Santa Cruz when a silver Cobra with black stripes appeared coming the other way. The driver nearly stood up at the wheel while he passed to give us a smile, a big wave and "thumbs up" sign. If I didn't know it before, at that moment it was clear I had bought into much more than another performance car.

"Nearly stood up at the wheel?"
Done deal, thou canst steer with thy knees.
Been there, done that.

Last week I was in a parking lot and a guy getting into a new Volvo said "I'll trade you straight up."
I said OK, as long as there is an ATM in the back seat.
We both laughed.

A young lady, I was following the other day, actually adjusted her rear view mirror (out of the make up applying position) so she could see my car behind her.
I thought DAMN seeing a Cobra has to be important for her to do that!  |

Morgan, I would love to read the whole article, too. (I can't find the magazine up here, in the snowy North  ) Can you re-post the last page, in the larger format, same as the first two pages, so us Canadian Cobra people can read it? Thanks!

A local cop stopped by today after they lifted the mandatory evac from the fires while I was cleaning up around the house.. Said he was glad the firefighters were able to save the Cobra.
They saved the house too!

2007 Cops for Tots Car Show at the LAPD Police Academy, my Cobra beat out LOTS of convertibles and roadsters (Vipers AND Corvettes!!!) and took home the "BEST IN SHOW" for roadsters and convertibles. Another nice plaque for the garage wall. Even with the paint nicks and worn leather interior and less-than-sparkling engine compartment from driving over 60,000 miles, I was very happy!

Yeah, but I wonder...was it the car, or the owner's silly hat?

Darn right, Ned. That may have been the ONLY time I was leading and they caught it.

After I sold the Cobra last July, I started watching for my next muscle car and in August I brought up an 06 Corvette Z06 from California, (car had 4,400 miles on it and was 55% of what they sell for here in Canada).
Anyway I now have had 5,000 miles of driving around town to see the difference in recognition this car gets is very different than the Cobra! Where the Cobra was a source of never ending conversation the vette gets furtive glances and cold stares like I must be a drug dealer or something. 
Still, I am not bored with the car yet!
