A Cobra is about the only way a common man can make a rich man in a Ferrari jealous.

Reminds me about when my car was having a top made for it. The previous owner trailored the car to Terry Top Shop in Pheonix (VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED). Terry does many VERY HIGH end cars. As the car was being unloaded the shop emptied out to come and see. At that time a Ferrari pulled into the lot and parked near by. The Ferrari barely got a glance as everyone was busy checking out the Cobra

Kind of like the night we where driving the car back from Phoenix to Columbus Ohio. It was later in the evening when a wheel bearing decided to commit suiside. After limping to a gas station where there just happend to be a most wonderful man that owns the local towing company a bit of a crowd drew. Moments later I saw a police officer pull in the lot. He looked over at us and got on his radio. Within minutes a number of other police cruisers showed up. Getting kind of nervious at this point. All of the officers got out of there cars and approached me. They all just wanted to see the car! They recommended who should repait the car, gave us there number and address, recommeded that we store the car in the toy guys shop (huge semi place secured like fort knox), recommended a place to stay and eat and took pictures. The tow company owner tucked the car away safely inside for the night, covered it to protect it, GAVE us a Ford Minivan so we could get around, met us at the shop early in the morning on his day off, waited patiently all day while we got the car fixed so that we could continue to use his van for FREE and even escorted us to the hotel to be sure we did not get lost.

That folks is what it is like to own one of these cars.
