It is an uncomfortable question. I usually say 60+. It does get old, especially the is it real question. Or is it a kit, which makes it sound cheap.

I wasnt in a mood for chatting the other day and a guy asked if it was real and I just said "Yup" . Real is an ambiguous word....

All that being said, if you dont want to talk about your car you shouldnt get a cobra! I cant stop for a drink with out answering some questions about the car. Its part of the fun, I have met a bunch of really nice people because of it. Some of them are rather good looking

Fred Z.,

Best post of the thread, in my opinion of course.

I live in a town full of people with much more money to spend than I do. I have found that being polite gets you a pleasant conversation with interesting people. These cars are conversation starters and a ton of fun to build, own, and drive. I like talking to interesting people and the town I live in is full of them. Wouldn't you answer politely to Ali McGraw?
