Ron: Whether the can was new or old I see it as clear ridicule and poking fun at CS. As CS bashing I will admit it was very mild compared to the usual here.

Look its a free country I just don't understand the overwhelming negative attitude towards CS. I'm not his spokes person, nor am I his advocate, nor am I his defender.

I certainly know he has made mistakes and have disagreed with many of his decisions, including the decision to sue FFR and SPF and the recent attempt to shut down SAAC, but.....isn't knocking him tarnishing the legend and the lore of the Cobra saga and story. Its the car and the legend surrounding SAI, CS and the car that we all revere. Continually knocking CS seems counter productive to promoting it especially on a site dedicated to the Cobra real or otherwise. Doesn't it????? Thats my gripe.

As usual, I'm the lone wolf. No problem. I like that role.

Making mountains out of mole hills is not something a lone wolf, by definition, would do.

Enjoy whoever or whatever you think you might be. At least your striving towards something.

----------------------------------------------------

A lone wolf is a wolf that lives by itself rather than with others as part of a pack. Most, if not all, lone wolves are ones that were banished from their packs such as a former pack leader or discarded pups (wolves prefer the safety of a pack; therefore, they almost never leave by choice). As such lone wolves are usually stronger, more aggressive and far more dangerous than the average wolf that is a member of a pack. They have difficulty hunting, as wolves's favorite prey are large ungulates, and it is nearly impossible for a wolf to bring one down by itself (hunting on their own can be done, as lone wolves are naturally stronger and some specialise in hunting moose on their own). Instead, they will hunt smaller animals and scavenge. Sometimes, a lone wolf will find another lone wolf of the opposite sex, and the two will start a new pack.

Among non-canines, this term typically refers to individuals who prefer solitude and/or work alone.

Actually, NO, it's not counter-productive at all. I think while most of us have no problem with compartmentalization, we jest because for some odd reason you can't seem to grasp that CS was just a part of the whole. Of course, at some level we all love him for being at the right place, at the right time, with the right idea, and for putting it all together. But, there is simply no virture in his behavior, probably then, and definately now. There is no virture in his attempt to rewrite history. There is no virture in all the frivalious lawsuits, and there is no virture in all the other childish antics that a better man would leave alone. The car and the legend are one and the same, otherwise there would be no reverence. But, that reverence was created by so many, on so many levels. If Brock, Remington, Miles, or any of those who played a significant role in the whole she-bang were/could act the ass, they too would be fair game for ridicule. And, why not? Whiners don't make good heros. If anything, we ridicule these antics for his own good. Otherwise, it's like keeping some dark secret in a closet, and it's just not the truth or healthy in the end. This bad behavior only dirty's his own legacy and he ought to know better by now.

Are you sure you're not Amy B. in disguise?

ALL of us are here on this site because we have Cobras (or admire the hell out of other people's Cobras!) We DONT knock CS for building Cobras, Daytone Coupes, GT40s, Series 1's, selling Cobra wheels/engines/paraphrenalia etc etc etc.

As YOU yourself have said about his recent decisions, a LOT of us dont like some of CS's decisions he has made recently. We DO realize we have to take the good with the bad.

Now, if NONE of us had Cobras but drove Vipers, Corvettes, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Lotuses, etc etc etc AND THEN ridiculed CS for making "unsavory" decisions lately, then you would have a case for standing up and giving us the verbal beat-down that we would so richly deserve.

But we LIKE our Cobras, be they original, replica, fiberglass, V8, V10, turbo V6, and whatever else have you as a Cobra.

Lighten up, and look at the WHOLE picture, and laugh WITH us without us having to laugh AT YOU! lol !!!
