Early in 1966 I rode in one of the first 427 street cars sold in California. Until this time I thought engineering was about bridges, skyscrapers and roads, things we use passively. Riding in a Cobra made me realize that good, hard thinking also leads to results that challenge a cars driver as they did its designer. This challenge is in the design and it showed me that the work engineers do is not limited to the examples I was familiar with. Thanks Shel. I'm enjoying the ride of a lifetime and now I know how and why the ride is possible.

A beautiful car, precisely assembled. Unfortunately I don't fit. Sold it after four hundred miles. Well, at least now I know a Cobra is not a car I can own.
