If I didn't have a Cobra, Id have that.

Real nice car.

Wheel tax, don't you hate it.

Thanks for the compliments. I am 99% sure my next project will be a Cobra replica.;)

I was hooked on Cobras early on.

Ive had all kinds of Mustangs, torinos, fairlanes, bla bla bla.

Nothing even comes close to fun this thing brings me. Can't really explain. One ride through town and anyone would see. If I knew it was this much fun, I would have done it years ago.

Thanks to video games almost every kid knows what it is. Its funny seeing a 9 year old pulling on his dad yelling COBRA COBRA COBRA!

Is it real, yes, just not real old:)

If your over this way, sevierville etc, we'll ride.

Sounds good to me. Have you checked out this site yet:
