Yeah, I think it's a Cobra, but I won't tell her. It's the thought that counts. She's a sweetheart!

Oh man.... I was gonna say that, but figured I'd be laughed off the forum.

Does look a little like a T-bird or Cobra. But who cares.... chocolate is like beer. They're not all the same, but at any given moment, they're all great.

The three major food groups:

Beer

Chocolate

Pizza

(Yup, it's a Cobra; yup, I'd not let on. Good lady ya got there - much like mine!)
