KERMIT & I did the annual replica show at KNOTTS BERRY FARM this past weekend and received one of the JUDGES AWARDS. Was contacted by an older gentlemen Saturday at the show. he asked me if I drive my COBRA [KERMIT] or do I trailer it to shows. Told him the car doesn't know what a trailer is. I drive it 250 miles to 500 miles a week, plus it gets raced as much as possible. He smiles and walks off. During the award ceremonies this smae guy walks to the podium and announces for me to come up. A litle stunned I go up. He makes a little speech about how every year he goes out and finds the nicest looking & detialed car that is actually driven, and not a trailer queen. THis year he picked KERMIT for the JUDGES AWARD.
Now for the YOU ARE SH*TING ME, RIGHT" award.
KERMIT & I got visited by the STUPID FUTURE REPLICA CUSTOMER FROM HELL Saturday at the KNOTTS SHOW. At about noon a guy and his wife come up and ask me if it is alright to sit in KERMIT. I say fine. Before he gets in he says he is worried that he won't fir properly in a Cobra. Now I'm 6'2 & 245 lbs and fit fine. I'm at least 4 to 5 inches taller than this guy and he weighs maybe 170lbs. I tell him that I don't think it would be a problem. He then tells me that he sat in a Cobra the other day and didn't fit properly. I look at the guy and am thinking to myself it must haveone opf those clown cars form the circus. I opened the door and he got in and HE decided that he fit fine in KERMIT. He gets out and again tells me how smal lthe other CObra was. I asked him "WHO WAS THE OTHER COBRA MANUFACTURED BY?" He said he didn't know. I then asked him how big the owner of the other CObra was? His ANSWER & I QUOTE: "I DIDN'T SEE THE OTHER OWNER. THE COBRA I SAT IN WAS IN A SHOPPING MALL PARKING LOT & I JUST DECIDED TO HOP IN AND SEE HOW I FIT. My only comment to him "Was you are sh**ting me, you just didn't do that." "SURE, I DID, WHAT THE BIG DEAL." "BESIDES GETTING YOUR *** KICKED, THEN SPENDING THE NIGHT IN JAIL, & HAVING TO EXPLAIN TO A JUDGE THAT YOUR JUST NOT TO BRIGHT, NOT TO MUCH I GUESS." He left with me shaking my head. I DID TELL NOT OT BUY A COBRA REPLICA. HE WOULD BRING DOWN THE COLLECTIVE IQ RATIO FOR ALL US OTHER COBRA OWNERS.
You look & listen to people like this and wonder sometimes if it is time to thin the herd out some.
