Default cobras and a sense of history

everybody told me i was nuts. no roof, no a/c, no radio. those were the exact things i loved about these cars. as raw as you can get it. i bought my
kirkham because it was as close to original as reasonable money could get.
i was 5 years old when real cobras were winning races. when i look at mine
i think about that group of guys, 40 plus years ago, who made the mold for what we see today. a few years ago we went to lemans, just being there
thinking about shelby and his guys winning was incredible. now i'm going
to sit in my car...

Default your tale reminds me of my first wife

Poorly thought that one out. Lost everything, not to mention about four years of my life. Ran off with a lawyer when i was in Vietnam.

As for the Cobra thing: i wanted one for most of my life. My particular Replica has given me and my son more memories than we could ever hope to have had any other way. I drive it just about every day. I get soaked, sweated, dripped on, sunburnt, smell of exhaust, and have spent a fortune on upgrades and modifications.

But then i don't boat/fish/hunt/golf/etc, all i have time for is my interest in cars, esp the one in my garage.

Some day i will have to hang up my keys. I want to walk into the sunset knowing i did it.

My first wife i think has been married since about 6 more times. Some relationships are doomed to certain failure. As was yours with your Replica.

Either one wants the librarian with glasses, or the augmented exotic dancer. Both entail compromises.

Wish you well, sincerely,
