Only one negative comment...
Drove the beast to work...making tons of noise as I went down the four lane street to my office. It was a bit crowded, so cars all around me. Pulled into the driveway and parked in my office garage out back and came in the back door.
I could hear voices at the front...some old lady's voice telling my receptionist to tell me to slow down and stop making so much damn noise.
As I went up front I could recognize the voice as she was stating how damn embarrassed she was about all the noise I made.
She was explaining how she had come into town to do some shopping, heard the racket I made and made a u-turn just to let me know how she felt.
It was my Mom.

In 2004 I had a FFR and was stopped at a red light in the 'crunchy' part of the city. Some guy and (I'm guessing his wife) rode up beside me on their bikes and he said (about 3 times) what a 'nice' looking fake my car was. As the light turned green I slowly looked over and said, "do mean fake like your wife's ti*s?"
Latter that same year a guy in a Miata pulled up at a red light and asked if "all that noise was neccessary?" I aksed, "when is Barbie expecting her car back at the playhouse?"
Guess 2004 was the year of stupid car comments in chicago as I haven't had a problem since.

Well, just too many good times to ratio any bad ones!!
I do recall a time i pulled up to a Starbucks for some hot Joe! As the car was idling......i noticed this guy and his girl sitting outside on the deck......and he looked over and then did this wave thing....attempts to ward off the fumes and such, as to give me the....'thanks for the smell, now turn the damn thing off' kind of wave! so, to be respectful, I did, without him even noticing that I saw his wave......(well, maybe I did give it one last rev.....at about 3 g's........first!!) His girl was fine, he was the problem, and I knew why! They ended up moving on......bummer, i would have liked a chat with him......and no, nothing I would have said would have been derogatory....more like......sorry for the noise and smell.......it is just a beast sometimes, and wants to eat........PEOPLE!!!!
By the way, on the vandalism thing....after reading Hal Copple's 'ode to a cobra owner'.....i remember the part where he says.....' and you can leave your cell phone and sunglasses right there on the tunnel, and come back and they will be completely undisturbed'.
so, i plan on getting an old phone, old sunglasses, and $10 dollar bill, and leave it byt the shifter up high, and just test the theory, 'cause I truly believe that the respect for these cars is so high that they will not be touched! Will get back and update you.

I had my first angry reaction yesterday.
I was driving along and I noticed the car next to me had the gas cap unscrewed and dangling on the little plastic deal they have now days. I maneuvered to pull up next to the passenger side of the loose gas cap car as the passenger had her window down. I tried yelling, "GAS CAP, "GAS CAP." She looked puzzled and flipped me off. I don't think she could hear me over the noise of my side pipes.

Maybe she only understood Swahili? In Swahili, "Gas Cap" means "Let's race, beeotch!"

Must be a "West of the Mississippi" thing as I have yet to have anyone (besides the kids in mom and dads 20 year old used Honda with the fart can on it) say or do anything negative Cobra wise..........
Of course there is one Cobra owner who seems to think he is above everyone else, quite vocal about it I might add, but that is a whole other discussion thread ...........

My Prius-driving boss would much rather drive a 427 powered Cobra...

It occured to me that the Prius is an inherently more dangerous car than the Cobra---you can't hear them in parking lots.
So, if a Prius owner says, "Your car is too loud!" you can rightly reply, "Your car is too quiet. You're gonna kills somebody!" and you'd be right.

Are we still having issues with the cars? I would agree, the quieter the less you know that they are there.......so, loud is good, right?

Jamo might win this one...
Sounds exactly like something my mom has said about several of my cars....Back in HS my mom actually called the police and had them come tell me to stop making all that noise at a late hour during a thrash to get ready for a weekend at the strip....Can't wait to hear what she says about a Cobra in her driveway...
So far following in a close second... "What time does Barbie want her car back" .... Poor Miata owner...lol
Too funny......quick thinking indeed...
Keep them coming guys ....

on the other side of things, sometimes i will note a car right behind me, carefully looking my car over, weaving slightly to each side, to inspect it up close on each side of my car. I just wait until they finally slowly up next to me, as they carfully check my car out, then when i look over to give them a thumbs up or a smile, turns out it is some girl putting on makeup, who wouldn't have noticed if i was driving an M1 Abrams tank next to her, and had poked the barrel thru her side window.

There's been a lot of chatter of assaulting the vandal, but what can one really do? I mean, who wants to end up in the "system" over some dumba$$ that doesn't like your car? I often think what would I really do if I caught someone in the act. Sure, beating the crap out of them would be my first school of thought, but then the cops show up and haul me off for felony assault and he/she calls their attorney for damages to their face. So what do you do?
