What has YOUR Cobra been mistaken for?
Took a ride in the Cobra up the coast to Davenport on Sunday. Went into the market to get something cool to drink, and as I perused the selection of Kern's nectors (hmmm, Peach, or Apricot?) I heard a guy at the counter exclaim:
"Did you see that car out there? That is so cool! What is it? A Triumph? A Spitfire?" I was pretty sure my Cobra was the only roadster in the small parking lot, and the response I heard confirmed they were talking about my 289 FIA: "I dunno. But the inside of it looks like a fighter plane or somethin'." Okay. I've been asked if it was a Corvette. It's been mistaken for a Triumph or a Spitfire. What else you guys hear from Joe Random Public? DD |
Oddly enough I often get...wow that's an awesome cobra...people in NJ seem to be in the "know"...if they don't know they just ask what it is...
|
My neighbor was with his girlfriend and he said, "hey nice Porsche" when he saw my car.
I didn't correct him in front of his girlfriend, but broke the news to him later. :LOL: |
A Triumph, an MG, an old Vette - and my personal favorite (from girls) "that sure is a cute little car."
|
once an senior woman asked if it was a corvette, but mostly i get the is it real BS.
my response is its not a cobra. they look at me funny. |
MG, Corvette, Toyota MR2 (really), Triumph, Austin Healy

porsche and Vette...
|
I pulled into a Ford dealer and a salesman said "is that an MG?". So when somebody asks what it is and I don't have time for the whole story (just saying it's a Cobra is usually followed by "what's a Cobra?") I say it's an MG. However the last time I did that the jerk said "what's an MG?"). I give up.

A gas truck. :LOL:
|
A Studebaker !!!
|
Dolly Parton ?
|
Copier repair man: "What a beautiful Datsun...what year is it?" **)
|
Jaguar (seriously!)
|
What? No "Ferrari" or "Masarati"?
Keep 'em comin'. DD |
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.
|
Most people are sure it's a real Cobra.....True but not 44 years old. :MECOOL:
Others ask if it's a Kirkham. :cool::cool::cool: |
Wait! Wait! Wait!
A Studebaker? Seriously? DD |
Corvette, Jaguar, and the Speed Racer Mach V (by some little kid).
|
An MG. Amazingly enough it is usually the "older" crowd who should know better who can't figure out what it is.
|
An MG. Usually it's guys old enough to know better that seem the most confused!
