So, I'm putting everything away after taking Steve Beaudry for a little toot Sunday night, and my neighbor across the court shows up with a "car nut" in tow who wanted to see my ride. I would guess the car nut to be mid 30's....
Car nut: Ah, A Corvette Cobra!! Sweet!
Me: Ummm.... its a Shelby Cobra, or Ford Cobra, or AC Cobra, but not a Corvette Cobra. I think Shelby did talk to GM before he went to Ford for the motor, but it's definitely not a Corvette Cobra....actually its a Replica....
Car nut: Yeah, I've heard of them...kit cars right.....
Me: Well uh.........
Car nut: it is - I'm postive it's a Corvette Cobra. I owned an LT1 (I think that's what he said) in '69. Do you know what that sonofa***** is worth today?
Me: No
Car nut: Probably $300000.
Me: Didja catch Barrett Jackson? I think they sold a few of them Corvettes. Did'ja happen to hear about the recent original Shelby 427 that sold on eBay for $375 large?
Car nut: No, but I know your car is a Corvette Cobra - made by GMC - matter of fact, the same car is in an Aerosmith video right now...you know....the one with the wide open mouth up front.........(car nut is standing at front of car with arms joined forming large circle).
Me: Ummmm, I don't know it....
Car nut: Check it out man. It's the same car, pretty sure....
Me: I'm pretty sure it's not a Corvette.
Car nut: Well, I think you need to check it out...
Me: Um, I have to go now. The, uh, Sopranos started 3 minutes ago...
Car nut and neighbour: Thanks man, nice car....
Every word true, I swear.......
