Another meeting with a Cobra "Expert" and some nice pictures too....

[UpstateCobraGuy]

Ok, took the Cobra out for another nice run (the daughter was mad she didn't go last night) Cruising down the main drag, hauling up on me came a real nice '64 Ford Fairlane 2 door. I took a turn and he followed me, took another he followed me again. We had nice little run going. Nothing too fast, but with a little spirit in it. I pulled over figuring he wanted to talk but no, he drove by. Ok, I follow him a bit. Until we come up on a stop light, so I pull up and ask him, "What do you have in it,?" he responds, "289." I say, "Sweet!" And give him a big thumbs up. He says "What's in yours?", I say "302!" He gives the response......"Sacrilege", I give him the look I reserve for only the dumbest of idiots I run across and look forward, shaking my head. On clue the light turns green, and I leave his...taxi cab driving...in the dust.

"Yeah, it has a...302"

(I've edited you post a bit. From the Code of Conduct (http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/announcement.php?f=3)

"You may not use profanity or bypass the software-based censor. In addition to words included in the censor list, sexual remarks and slang may be considered profane when used in certain contexts.

A word about what is considered to be bypassing the software-based censor: Anything done to avoid the default *'s provided by the censor is considered to be a bypass of the censor. For example, if the word “angle” was in the censor (it is not), then all of the following are considered a bypass of the censor and thus in violation of the COCA:

* A****
* ang1e, angl3
* anglë, añgle
* a n g l e
* Angle
* a<!-- a -->ngle
* <img src="http://www.example.com/93QrsteaV/angle.gif"> (links to image containing the word “angle” used in a demeaning context)"

On a brighter note, here's a few photos I took the night before.

Sweet ride and even sweeter story.

[Lowrod]

Funny little story.

It's always a blast to drive one!!!

If I may say, I see it as Mr. Fairlane needing to take the awesomeness of the Cobra down 1 or 5 pegs so he feels better about his ride in that encounter. It's actually a massive compliment if you think of it. Great pics BTW

[Mark Dougherty]

just tell them its a stroked 289

[j.miller]

He wasn't retired Mayberry PD with one bullet in his pocket was he ? nip it in the bud....just nip it ! roadster envy

I'd prefer saying it was a 260 inline six and then blow his doors off. The man would have drop jaw till your tail lights were out of site lol.
