Some Original Cobra Owners are Real Snobs

[JWilly]

About a year ago, at a car show, I was mildly chastised by an owner of an original Cobra. Seemed he did not like replica owners putting cobra badges on their cars (however, my SPF has no cobra badges). Not sure why that put his knickers in a twist, but it did.

Up here in Redding every year they have a combination car show and it is called the Ducky Derby because you buy a rubber duck for $2 and they haul them a couple of miles up the river and dump them in. Whoever's duck floats through the gate first wins and normally the 1st place is a new car. Anyway since all the proceeds go for charity I entered my beat up Cobra a few years ago. One woman, I later learned that she was the wife of a guy that I knew slightly, came by and spent 10 minutes calling me names and telling me that they should not allow those plastic piles pf Sh** in a car show. I walked over to see their car and low and behold it was a KIT 32 Ford, fiberglass body and all. All I asked her was if that 350 Chevy engine came in the car and left. I never say anything bad about anyone's car no matter what I may think of it. I just figure they built it to please them and not me.
