Thread: Kit car rant--Cobra vs. 'glas streetrod

Tweet

i have seen this to. i get ask all the time where did i get my kit for my 34 chevy. i tell them i got it from cheverolet. there is always a butt in the crowd some of them sit on theres, some wear them wraped around their heads and some of them use them to talk with. it not hard to pick them out. i go an try to enjoy the different people you meet. like the little old lady in the walker with hair up in a bun and long denim skirt down to her ankles. ask if that was my car, then informed me that it was a 1934 cheverolet sedan. she looked at me an said i lost my virginity in a car just like that. it dont matter what they are drive them till the wheels fall off. jonathan

When I owned my Cobra I did 3 shows a year, all benefit car shows, only because they were all for good reasons and spectators love to see Cobras.

The first show I brought the Cobra to, the car got dissed by several of the "streetrodder elite". I was parked by the staff of the event between a 'glas bucket T and a 'glas '32 hi-boy--nice cars. My car was a 289 FIA/USSRC replica--I heard "you can tell it's fake 'cuz Cobras all had 427's", "the Cobra sidepipes never looked like that", "Cobras were all Blue and white, never red" on and on.

I drove away from the show with a first in my class and Peoples Choice and the 'glas streetrod owners were pissed off---Laughed all the way home.

Eh, when all else fails, just show them your license plate.
