Some Original Cobra Owners are Real Snobs

[mrmustang]

Mike,

Was it an original, or just a Real(tm) one .


As for snobs, I ran in to a bunch of them driving FFR's last year while I was airing out a friends original 60"s Cobra here in PA Dissed by a fellow Cobra owner WTF ....Unfortunately, the shoe does actually fit on both feet...........

Well I guess there are jerks in every crowd. As for myself and Howard, we just like taking cruises and hanging out with anyone interested in cars. It doesn't matter to us whether it is original or a replica or if it is a VW. A car guy is a car guy to us. I appreciate all kinds of cars from sports cars to hot rods to classic and vintage. Every car has good points and bad points, so my feeling is, appreciate it for what it is regardless. Thats what makes it fun. Besides comparing 60's technology against 2008 technology is just silly. If there weren't improvements in more then 40 years, then we are in more trouble then I thought. If I had the bucks, i would own an original myself, but since that will never happen, I fullfilled my dream with a replica. I just hate anyone that thinks they are better then others and act like snobs, whatever they drive.

You know when I read the title of this thread that old thread 'Dissed by a fellow Cobra owner WTF' about the Bill's experience while out driving one day instantly popped into my head. Enjoyed re-reading them all over again

The irony of this post is just fantastic and basically proves the point generally being made in Bill's earlier post, that it has nothing to do with the car.

brilliaint; made me laugh out loud; classic un-informed snobbery!

But there are bigots, and people inflicted with a 'superiority complex' in every walk of life, and many shades of grey of course...we all accept a fake snake (sorry replica..) , but what of a fake ferrari kit (fashioned from a mazda miata), or perhaps a fake rolex, or fake raybans????????

Anyway just thought Id throw that in the mix!!

My best 'its a fake' moment? Driving my old hawk Lemans locally, and a guy at a bus stop shouts 'fake, FAKE'...loud enough I hear him over the poorly silenced rumbling V8...:-)

Of course the bus he was standing and waiting for was 100% genuine :-) :-)
