"what's behind you doesn't matter" unless it's the police

[tcrist]

While it is good that they make a good rear view mirror and you say that is what this post is about, I do not believe it in a second. You are trying to impress people with your blatant disrespect for the law and the safety of other vehicles on the road.

I personally believe that not only should the police have ticketed you they should have impounded your vehicle. Now that would have made a statement. Of course you would have not posted about that.

I, as an ex motorcycle rider from way back, look at this the same as when I see motorcycle riders doing dumb and dangerous things on the roadway. It just makes everyone think that all of the motorcycle riders (and in this case, Cobra drivers) are just plain jerks that do not care about the laws or anyone else’s safety on the road.

Now, before you get your panties in a bunch, I used to do the same type of thing when I was younger (40+ years ago). I did not even think about anyone else and what they even cared about. I have grown up and maybe eventually you will also.

There, I am off my rant. I am fairly sure that you (and others) could not care less what my opinion is.

Personally I enjoyed the OP's post.

For you guys that didn't, sell your Cobras (you certainly don't seem to enjoy them) buy a Prius, and go visit another forum. Good grief.

Do you guys really own Cobra's? ...and anyway, blowing your pipes out, to me, doesn't mean he was driving reckless or crazy. Chill Pill time.

Speaking for myself only, yes I do own a Cobra "replica".

This really is not just Cobra related. I see people all of the time in all sorts of vehicles doing questionable things on the road all of the time. Like I posted, I used to do this also. Think of it this way, how would you like to have your daughter, mother or grandmother scared sh!tless by someone as they are driving, and that possibly causing an accident. Now I did not add son, father and grandfather but I could if you want. It just seems more un-nerving when it is a female that gets scared.

I happen to have a personal stake in this kind of thing. This type of thing actually happend to my mother. Someone scared the sh!t out of her and she could not drive again. She would just freek out and freeze up when trying to drive and we would almost have to cover here eyes when she was just a passenger so she would not freek out. Now some of you might think that this is kind of funny and have a good chuckle about it. I have no problem with that as I would probably do the same if I was not connected to it.

Also, I do not have any ill feelings about the OP. He/she is going to do what they want no matter what is said on a forum.
