I am sorry to say I didn't even drive my car in 2016 . My son drives the car regularly and I am hoping this
coming year to drive my car and maybe try and make the Texas Cobra meet this spring . I was wanting to
see my car and buy a FFR Daytona but changed my mind on that pipe dream . I have had some health
problems and doing better now and I think I will just keep my Cobra .
I am not one to seek attention but quite often here in Sulphur Springs my car gets all kinds of attention
since I am the only Cobra (that I know of ) and sometimes I get pissed when some will say is that a FFR
Cobra ?...........Or is that REAL . Hell no it ain't real . I always tell the smart ass punks .....IT's REAL TO ME .
I bought a turn key minus from Hurricane and I am pleased , But I really wanted an ERA which I think is
a better replica than the Hurricane . The Hurricane body is pretty darn close. I have scared myself several
times in the Cobra because I think I am Speed Racer and get turned on by the fear , I used to fly some
acro in real airplanes and it is the same type of adrenaline rush for me and maybe more .
I have too many projects also . I have a Piper Cub that I am going to sell this year and spend more
time working on my car on details . I have another project a 65' Mercury Comet and I am going to
put a BBC in it . Yes you heard right a BIG BLOCK CHEVY . I have the ultimate Ford already in my
Cobra .
The old snake himself used to hang out at the Mt. Pleasant airport with Scott Glover flying with him
due to his health problems . I wished now I had taken my car to show him as I heard he would have
not been so pissed as earlier years . For those of you who are aviators you understand that flying can
make you forget about cars .........except when I get into my blue beast and scare the crap out of
myself . Then car has seen 155 (if the speedo is right) and totally a bonehead and felonious thing to
do . But in these days of cars doing 200+ easily the 0-100 mph is still quite thrilling .
So in 2018 I am going to try and have more fun with my car and enjoy having the closest thing to
a real Cobra that I will ever see . I have 4500 miles on my car now and it seems to be trustworthy
for extended trips . I am one of those guys who doesn't care if I get rock chips and scratches on
my car . Forget that ! One thing that upsets me though is people getting up on my ass to take a
look at my car , so i just pull over and let them by . I am getting old and bitchy LOL.
Drive safe and responsible and have a nice New Year 2018 . Mike aka FuzzyDiceRide .![]()
