Someone asked me if my Cobra was front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive!

My favorite misidentification was by a 4 year old boy who stood stunned, staring at my bright red car. I looked at his mother and she said, "He thinks it's Lightning McQueen from the animated movie Cars."

Actually, mine was mistaken for a character from that movie too, but I really don't see the resemblence.

Does anybody else?

Thanks, but I can't take credit for it, my son did it, he's standing by his IROC in the picture.

He sent me the picture just to hassle me a while back.

When a friend of mine's wife saw my SPF for the first time she said "it's so cute!". I asked her to please point out exactly what part of the car was cute... so I could chop it off with an axe, and burn it.

I also used to get the "is it real?" question when I was getting fuel. It never bothered me, but I was relieved when I sold the Cobra to think I wouldn't have to answer that question for the billionth time. I ended up buying a 2000 Cobra R after selling the SPF. And go figure... every once in a while, while getting fuel, some guy will lean out his window and ask "is that thing real?".

When I hear this, I respond with "Get in. I'll show you cute."
