On my trip from Washington to California I was in Vancouver, WA for lunch. The Cobra was parked and we were outside eating lunch with the Cobra in my view. I noticed a kid and his grandmother looking at the Cobra. The grandmother was waiting patiently for the boy to finish looking. The boy, maybe about 13 years old, seemed to be almost autistic. He kept reaching out to touch the Cobra, but couldn't quite touch the car and would hold his hand inches away from the Cobra. He kept reaching out with his hands like he was shaping the sides and top of the vehicle. Then he would grab his arms like to physically stop himself from touching the Cobra. All the time he was talking to his grandmother about it, walking around the Cobra. I wish I had a movie of it. The kid will surely own a Cobra someday!

Team Cobra pulled off another win on the Santa Monica Sports Car Club's "Eureka Rally" on Saturday. If any of you Cobra drivers have any competitiveness in your system, you should check out these events. Yes, the rules are tough. Yes, you need a navigator to read maps. Yes, you get to drive the very best roads in SoCal. Yes, winning feels so good!

SMSCC.org is the place.

The other day I was was filling up the asp when a couple in a SUV drives up to the pump behind. They sit there for a moment or two chatting away and staring at the car. Eventually the guy gets out and walks up admiring the lines. Finally he stops and says:

"My wife and I were discussing it an she agreed that we'd be willing to trade you for it..."

I looked at him and then her still sitting in the passenger seat then at my car and replied...

"Well....OK...but I really need to meet her first...."

I was driving ERA 717 home from PA to upstate NY with no top in 35 degree weather at 75 mph. I noticed a Honda SUV pull up along side of me and it kept pace. I glanced to my left and there were three people waiving at me and snapping photos with their I phones. I politely waived and then sped away. Hopefully I do not end up on you tube under "idiot in a convertible in the cold"

Was a hell of a ride, 6 hours and I was grinning from ear to ear.
