Consider yourself LUCKY that you have not seen this YET.......

Way back when I was about as close to buying a kit as I'll ever be, I did a ton of research and the kit I was going to by was an FFR....... My car # would have been below 100, that's how long ago that was, I test drove one of the 2 FFRs that were in the state of Louisiana at the time....I wanted to build my own car and at the time that was all I could afford, probably still is all I can afford!!!!!!

I went to at least a half dozen car shows looking at Cobras, taking my camera and pad with me, to get the best ideas from each make and incoporate them into what would have been my car.... At every show I talked to owners (at least 4 different manufacters) and they all touted their brand as "the best" which I expected, but one thing they all did at the time was diss the FFR brand to me when they found out that was the car I planned to buy!!!!!!!! The 2 FFR owners were the nicest people around.........

Because of this type of attitude, I put off getting a kit and ever since the dream has slowly faded away..... I doubt I'll ever own a Cobra, more likely a Daytona replica of some sort later on........

It's not about the car brand as much as the HUMAN brand, I've had the same thing happen to me on more than one occasion because I took a perfectly good C-code 65 Mustang Fastback out of a pasture where is was going to rot away and turned it into a pretty good looking 66 GT-350!!!!!!!!!

I have even on one accasion seen a judge at a car show diss an original big block Cobra as a cheap imitation till the owner showed him the CSX tag, then he walked away with his tail firmly planted between his legs while a he was laughed at........

There are A$$HOLES everywhere and sooner or later you may run into one or more........depending on the situation, sometimes I do what Bill did and just walk away, but on a couple of occassions I could not, and had to speak my mind..............

It's no surprise however that the nice guy in the group, who recognized the car as an original, was the Unique owner....

It is too bad that this is what the hobby has become. I wonder how many people..good people...get turned off by all the bs and just walk away. I suppose there is no way to overcome the recto-cranial inversion so common among people, but the few bad apples sure do sour the day. I guess thats why I am so gunshy about any sort of club. I find life a whole lot easier if I choose my friends slowly and just enjoy the day. Having said that, i'd give a years pension to have been there and heard what the 3 morons had to say when they found out it was an original car!! Priceless, I am sure. Only thing better would be to have them identify themselves here and watch the flamethrowers come out!
