Passed a nice looking car.
Driving down the freeway I followed a Cobra for quite awhile and it really got me thinking, damn that's a nice car. Something about it. I like my vette, I still think it and all the other newer ones are wedgy looking whereas this cobra had more of a beefy look to it. The car sits just right, has a nice shape, looks mean as hell. This guy had some big rubber, nice paint job, a spoiler on the back that wasn't worth a damn but other than that I know where my next windfall is going, that is if I live long enough.

I'd guess there's a Rustang Forum to talk about this sort of stuff...

As long as he was passing it, that makes it alright to talk about it.

I agree, the GTO should have been more of a Retro look, like the New Camaro GM is going to build.

The C5 is among the most comfortable car I ride in...
BTW, I drive over 43K miles per year... less than 5K in the Vette... too bad though!!! I'd love to have it for my DD... 'cept when it snows!!
