What has YOUR Cobra been mistaken for?

Sometimes the really little kids say 4 to 9 years old kinda think it looks like a cartoon car (you know it really does) but I'm always surprised when young people (teens, etc) know exactly what it is.

An MG. Usually it's guys old enough to know better that seem the most confused!

[HI Cobra]

Re: my Classic Roadster - Jaguar, Corvette, and once, "is that some GM
Camaro" That guy was brilliant (this was 4 or 5 years ago).
I haven't been out in the Kirkham enough to have dealt with it - yet.

What a great thread.

In some form or another, my car has been:

Corvette
Austin Martin
VW ( if you can believe that )
"one of them cars" ( didn't understand the remark, but I do remember it )
jag

While at the 2007 London show, I was the stager for most of the day. I could here off to my right a man telling his child that all these old Porsches were running on nitro.

Dang.

The teens all know what an AC Cobra is because of the driving games for PS3, XBOX, etc..... Most of the games have a Cobra as one of the bonus cars you have to win races in order to drive.
