I enjoyed that little flick, so thanx for that, Geo. As to the numbers of kits versus genuine articles, I must 'fess up a deeply personal dent in my psyche that is the result of one of these Cobras, real or ersatz I know not.Originally Posted by KJ6BSO
Neighbor on a court behind my house has one of them. Handsome car, and it looks like a lot of fun to drive -- though he seldom takes it out in summer and never in the other seasons of the year. He doesn't race or rally. It mostly sits in his garage, except when the asshat pulls it out into his driveway most weekends in the seasonable months and blips the throttle for what seems like hours on end. Says he is keeping it in tune, which seems odd since the damn thing hardly ever leaves the driveway. Like one of those biker asshats who cannot resist hearing the raucous noise while sitting at a light (and, having owned a bike in the seventies, I don't buy the bullshit about not being able to get a smooth idle and the need to keep blipping the throttle while stopped), he plays with the throttle just to toy with his four-wheeled penis.
Loudest GD car in the neighborhood, and the asshat's house is centered in the 47-house community, so we all get to share his "pleasure."
I would like to find that woman's name and phone number; keep her handy just around the corner. Maybe buy her one of those cement mixer trucks...
