There's a lot to be said for women like that:
Heat in the winter, shade in the summer and moving pictures all year long!!!

My wife and daughter were out shopping for the day while me and my son were in the garage doing some fine tuning of the Cobra. It was time for another shake down run and told Josh lets go get some lunch at our favorite mexican food joint. Since its a beautiful day we sit outside to eat. While enjoying our chips and salsa a man walks up and asks if the Cobra parked out front is mine and I say yes, he then asks if I live near Blacks Mill and I say yes again. He goes on to tell me he hears me all the time coming by his house and that he has been wanting to see the car that sounded so cool. (Whew! at first I thought he was going to be ticked off) After a few more compliments he walks back inside to eat dinner with his wife.
Josh asks me if this happens alot and I tell him yes, almost everytime someone either makes a thumbs up jester or if its parked it draws someone over for a closer look.
Just as our food arrives to the table the guy shows back up and this time sits down at our table and fires up the normal guy talk about cars and engines. After about 10 minutes of chatting his wife sticks her head out the door and he sees her and says its been great talking to us and heads out.
Since we are sitting outside we can see that a newer Mustang parks beside the Cobra and noone gets out, they just sit there. About 15 minutes later Josh and I are done stuffing ourselves, we pay and head to the car. As we get in, the windows roll down in the Mustang and its the guy and his wife from the resturant and he says they couldnt leave without hearing it crank up. Lol After giving them a few revs and opening the hood for a look we finally were able to head back home.
It never fails, fill ups, quick runs to the grocery store, or a quick bite to eat, you better allow an extra 30 minutes for Q&A lol

Ok, so here's the procedure
1) Do not take your Viagra the morning you plan to go out (If you get caught your aren't gettin' any anyway)
2) Wear loose fitting clothing
3) Wear dark wraparound sunglasses.
4) Keep head steady at all times
5) Look at "book", sip beer, repeat as necessary
That should have you covered
Good Luck!!  |

thumbs up
It is cool to get a thumbs up or a wave. Some ask if they can take a picture. All this and mine is still gel coat right now. Its a dark blue color but nothing like paint. I don't know about all of you but I could not afford one of these when I was 25. I have to say this is the best time in my life, not just the car but a fantastic wife, healthy kids, involved in my church and a crazy english bull dog.

Filling up with gas.. some guy is asking me 239874 questions about it. On his way into the station to buy a pack of smokes, he's backpedaling across the gas station parking lot because he can't take his eyes off it.. Another guy is pulling into the gas station is checking out the car too. The guy pulling in had to slam on his brakes to avoid running over the guy walking backwards.

Had mine a trailer today to take it for a VIN# assignment.
Must had gotten at least 12 horn-honks/thumbs up from other cars.
Two guys on a porch yelled and asked if it was an old corvette.
Two other guys at the gas station wanted me to fire it up and rev it - and I did 
Some chick ran up and asked if it was an original cobra. I told her replica - she said it looked amazing.
Another week or two and I should have my plates/insurances/etc/etc. Can't wait!

So, just got the Cobra a few weeks ago. Pretty rough - PO started it using Lonestar factory guy help, lost interest. Never painted it, no interior, barely hooked up the gauges, windscreen loose, fiberglass clashes, etc. Perfect for me and the kids to fix on!
Was rolling through the neighborhood in 3rd to keep it low, and this old, bent over man stopped on the sidewalk, looked right at me, threw down a big smile and thumbs up. He must have been my age when the originals came out.
Live while you can, fellas, these are our glory days.
Peace out,
Jack |

Three of us out driving last weekend, two roadsters and a Daytona coupe. We stopped in for dinner at a resturant that shares it's parking lot with a large gas station. We lucked into 3 parking spots right in front of the windows and then scored a table inside with a view of the cars.
Because of the high volume of the gas station there was a constant flow of admirers and although we tried to avoid it, we got stuck in a couple of group photos. Always lots of fun cruising these cars. |

I was trailering my new Superformance Cobra to the DOT, stopped at a gas station out in the boondocks. All the other refuelers gathered around, and one middle aged gentleman stared at it for awhile, then asked if he could touch it as he had never seen a real one in person. He gently reached out and touched the rear tire and grinned from ear to ear. One of the other guys walked over from his old pickup and said it was the nicest old Corvette he had ever seen.

Pretty good video here of some gashole's FF Coupe kicking the crap out of a camaro and a challenger. Gets a lot of exosure in the video considering "Quality Chevrolet" is sprawled across the bottom of the whole video! LOL

Coming back from a meet in N. Las Vegas stopped at the local casino for a Steak n Shake. Had the car parked out front and when I came out 3 women were looking at the car and taking pic's. One says her husband has a corvette, I ask her if she would like to hop in and have her friends take a pic. Now don't read anything into this I have steak at home and not looking for hamburger.
I love the smiles from people when they get to set in the car and have someone take their picture. It's all perception and makes them feel great... Me too.
