Should I feel insulted or?????
At least three times in the last few weeks I've been at cruise ins or at the gas station filling up and I've been approached by people looking at the car. The first question from these guys is "is that a Factory Five kit?" Last night, after the question I simply said no, trying to concentrate on filling my tank without spilling gas on the paint. So he says, "well, it's still a pretty nice car" as he walks away....
Now, I built this car pretty much from scratch. It is a Roger Bollick (Exact Cobras) carbon fiber body over what was at the time a partially completed frame and I've got a lot of time and effort into it so I'm more than a little invested in this car in more than monetary value, if you know what I mean. So, I kind of feel like I should feel insulted a bit when I get this question but I'm not really sure......
Yeah, I spun the tires a bit getting out of there.....
