Ever notice some fellow Cobra owners snubbin' ya?

[Nedsel]

This whole thread just gets me p.o.'d. Mostly because I drive an Edsel station wagon, and can't snub ANYBODY. Nuts.

Oh but Ned, surely you could at least snub Pinto owners!

Well, I could try to snub them. But I don't want them to blow up in my face, so to speak.

[lamaluv]

I think you would be OK so long as you don't get to close to their rear end.

We are car guy's first.
just mention a streetbease cobra around here and all the snubers just warm up.
now tell them you are building a streetbeasst with a big block Chevy.
watch what happens then. I do not care if you build it or buy it a hot rod is a hot rod, does it bring a smile to your face when you are with it? that is all that counts.
the only people that have any right to say anything is an original cobra owner,they can tell you about their cobra because you will not see it on the road, it might get hurt. I have meet a lot of car guy's at shows that will take the time to be as nice as nice gets, no matter what car they have. and other guy's that have a POS and they don't even talk to you.
Just go out and have some fun while it is warm and sunny. because it gets cold and smowy real fast. Jim

I would suggest that typecasting has no place here or anywhere else. When you speak of any group - be it the FF guys, the ERA people, the Tiger owners, or whoever - to say they are all alike is simply incorrect. As for the owners of original Cobras whose cars you won't see on the road because they might get hurt, don't include me or the other 13 people who have participated in the various tours for original Cobras over the past several years. Mt wife and I just drove both our Cobras over 1000 miles in the pouring rain on this year's "Cobra Battleground Tour" in VA and WV. You think you don't see original Cobras on the road? Guess again.

I perceive this thread as being humorous. What's a little hyperbole between CC members?

Nonetheless, I/we should be allowed to share my/our "snub" experiences on this thread. Certainly my experience(s) was/were real, though I'm aware that you can't label 100% of anyone and then plug them into one neat and tidy category.

Tops? Who needs tops? Besides, they really don't keep the floor dry. 55 gallon trash bags over the seats, now there's the ticket. Battleground photos provided by a very wet Mr. Maxwell standing by the side of the road.

Well Ned, QUIT driving that land yacht!!!!!!!!!!
BTW: there's a really nice Edsel in my neck of the woods for sale, interested???????????

There's another simple solution to your problem: anytime anyone in a Cobra snubs ya, just back the Edsel wagon into the side of the car,say 30 mph. Can you imagine the damage the rear bumper would do to a Cobra, glass or aluminum!!!!!!!!!........They would NEVER snub you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW: I like Edsels............if I had ANY extra money laying around (thanks OB) I would've bought the one down here already.....

Russ:

I know the guy (Charlie) with "The Worlds Fastest Edsel", he's from the New Orleans area and goes to a lot of Ford/Shelby events with his car, super nice guy.....

Last time I saw the car in action it had a 460 cu.in. engine in it.....I think he was running the quarter mile in the very low 11's....very heavy car,full interior....
