OK, so I'm sitting on the floor, flipping through my carious car magazines, seeing what's good to cut out and what's not. My dad comes downstairs to iron the clothes (yes, my dad irons.) and all of the sudden..(The conversation goes like this):

Dad: I've arranged you a ride in a Cobra.
Me: Shelby?!
Dad: Yeah.
Me: *speechless* :eek:
Dad: Yeah, I work with the guy who owns it.
Me: What kind of a driver is he?
Dad: Well, he used to race up at Watkins Glen, and ran a few of the 24 hour races.
Me: So, I'm guessing he'll "hit it" for me if I ask him?:trouble:
Dad: Yeah, I'd think so.

Holy crap. This is going to be the experience of a lifetime. It's going to be sometime suring the summer, because you can't really drive convertibles in the spring up here (There's 3 inches of snow on the ground, blah.:irked: ). I'll be sure to bring the (empty) 64 meg memory stick and the digi-cam with me. ;)

I can't wait.

Make sure he actually takes you. Try and take an ass load of pictures. Those cars are worth alot of money.

I'm not sure where the guy lives, but a guy in my neighborhood used to have one. :trouble: No idea why in hell he got rid of it.
 
Cool. Is it like a model in Cobraboy's avatar, the early 90's model of the modern model?
 
I'm pretty sure it's an original. He didn't tell me much about the actual car, but if the guy had sense he'd paint it blue with white stripes. ;)
 
a nice darki'sh blue. screw the stripes (i h8 it when people start painting strips on their trucks and cars, like really....)
 
Well I think cars should earn their markings (stripes, graphics, etc). Kind of like a Rank in the Military. If it is fast it deserves a racing stripe or two. If its just a dressed up econo box forget it...
 
my neighbor has a lame ass truck with a couple of strips, i think it is lame, but then again i made this point already, but this is my 100th post, so yay!!! ^.^
 
Thats really cool that you get to drive such a cool car. I recently got to drive a car I thought I would never SEE much less TOUCH or DRIVE. the car you ask???? THE LEGENDARY NISSAN SKYLINE!!!!! this is especially special because I live in Arizona so there aren't any skylines around or in the US for that matter :)

Its a city named Surprise.... I know It's kinda fruity sounding but I'm like 5 mins from a freshly paved deserted road thats perfect for racing!
 
Ask him if its an original or replica. If its an original ask to see the VIN plate (I think thats what you USA'un call em?) and look at it or ask about a CSX number. Find out what engine as well. A Cobra with anything smaller then 427ci is just plain horror!

You think thats fruity? Try living in a city with the zip code: 23456 :p! Whenever someone not familiar with it asks for the zip code they think your joking or trying to annoy them :irked:...
