    Awesome picture. If I were you, I would be sugaring the grandson up, hoping he would let me borrow his ride to drive it around the office next week. I do feel the need to point out that your grandson's has stripes, so it is obviously faster.

    I bought the cobra for my grandson and he immediately enjoyed doing burnouts as well as taking his sister's for rides. Kinda like the LCS experience. Then I had an idea of putting us nose to nose. Big grins on both of us.

    Jay -

    How perfect - good on you for starting him out young and for him to have such a great Papa to emulate.
    Later,

    Great picture my wife keeps telling me that I should have built the smaller one because it would have been a lot cheaper

    Love the photo. Makes me think of my own 8 year old grandson who, last weekend, emphatically asked "are you ever going to finish this car?" I need to get him one of those little versions...

    I'll have to give the paint matching idea serious thought.

    I saw it at Costco and had to buy it and it's good up to about 6 yrs. Your 8 year old may be a bit big for it. I'm sure there are larger one. Here's an idea, FFR should sell 'am. They would sell like hot cakes and be great PR.

    Jay - you're probably right - he's too big for the "little" cobra. He probably needs his own MK IV... I need to start working on my son-in-law on that!

    Start em' early and your grandson will be able to say he worked on a Cobra when he was young.
