This morning, the thermometer in my car was telling me it was 36F while travelling through Mclean on the drive in. I was next to a Shelby 427 AC Cobra. With Antique plates. This weren't no kit car boys and girls, this was an original. The part you may be wondering about is why I've labelled this 'Insane people...', and what you're missing here is that the Cobra is a true roadster. I has no top. It's not an option. This guy was cruising around in 4F above freezing in an open air vehicle. The car was gorgeous though.
I've become jaded about expensive cars since living in NoVA. Lambourghini, Porsche, Ferarri, Astin-Martin...all nice cars. Not that rare here. See 'em all the time. A vintage Cobra though...makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. My BMW's a nice car, and I love driving it, but if I had to pick, gimme the vintage roadster any day of the week. I love those 60's era British cars; they had wonderful lines.
