Dissed by a fellow Cobra owner WTF

[Rick Weber]

Look at the amount of press these boneheads generated. Might be time to stick a fork in it...or them...

Roscoe,

I don't post at all on the FFR Forum for the very reasons you stated. I have had other makes and liked them just as well and I like all cars period, I don't care who or what made them. Since I can't afford an original Cobra, I just tell people that mine is a replica of a kit.

...some of the Q&A on this thread should have been done via PM or offline.

I think most understood the underlying point of Bill's anecdote.

I don't want to see this devolve into a brand bashing dialog, with the need for pro's and con's to be posted.

Let's leave it at that. Post on the issue only.

thanks

I can't even imagine driving a real one... let alone drive one a friend owns! VERY cool!! I love my SPF, but just the feeling of knowing you are in a real piece of history has got to add another element of "WOW" to the drive.

Bill,

This has really touched a nerve with lots of folks.

It is really unfortunate to know that a Cobra owner(s) would dis another's ride. We are all really proud of what we have. The marketplace has all manner of solutions to our desire to have this dream car. Every one of these cars is the right answer for someone. In my case (typical I think), I checked the market out for a couple of years before I pulled the trigger and bought. Sure I ruled out some cars because they were not right for me. But I don't understand dissing the guy who bought something else.

This is all the more outrageous since you were driving a real one!! The Holy Grail!!

ps - It is also interesting to see an element who refer to folks like me in a disparaging manner as "check writers" because I did not build my car. I wish I had the skill and time needed to do it, but I do not. It is a mistake to think that I am not a true sports car nut, or do not "understand" because I did not build it. I have wanted a Cobra since I was fifteen years old. I have owned and loved numerous other great sports cars, but this was the one I truly wanted all along. Originals cost too much. The marketplace for "replicas" gave me a second chance. People who write checks for these things "get it".
