Dissed by a fellow Cobra owner WTF

[LuvDaBlues]

After an episode in Tulsa, and reading this thread, I need a ruling on my actions, along the same subject.

I'm quite new to this whole Cobra scene (only a year with my car), so I have to look under the hood for the manuf. plates to see what's what. (Keep that in mind, and don't berate me later in this post for lack of knowledge) I'm walking through the pre-stage of the Tulsa Mid-America car show, and I strike up a conversation with a gentleman with an original '65. Great guy, lots of information, even though I'm beating him down with questions he's probably answered 1000 times. Good example of a "good Cobra guy".

All the cars are shuffled into the parking lot, where the organizers place all the originals and new Shelby Americans on one side of the show, while all the replicas are on the other. Walking the replica line, sticking my head under all the hoods, I run across an SA plate. I ask the young guy why he isn't over with the CSX's. He gave me some bad excuse, but I wasn't going for it. After about a minute of bantering with him, my buddy looked under and said it wasn't a SA, but an older replica with an aftermarket manuf. plate. I kind of chuckled at him and said "don't misrepresent your car". He never admitted it was not a CSX. That stuff just bugs the hell out of me.

Now my wife called me the a$$ for this.
