Not Ranked
not too old
I'm 54.
I had wanted a Cobra since mid-64 when I was a 16 year-old high-school junior, and I saw a red slabside with chrome wires outside a VA Ford dealership. My Dad offered to buy me one upon graduation if I would go to the Naval Academy and save him mucho tuition bucks. I thought I would do it, but then I went on a Sea Cadet cruise one weekend on a Navy destroyer where they served bad chicken and the whole ship came down with ptomaine poisoning.
After three days sitting on the throne with my head in a bucket, I decided the Academy could make it without me. So long Cobra.
But 37 years later I still couldn't get over it, so I bought an already built Unique FIA. It's probably this way. Back then, I would have wound up a$$ over tea kettle in some ditch.
