I been driving my Cobra around New England for 26 years. In that time I've made many friends brought together by these unique cars. In this neck of the woods most are driving Factory Five cars. Clearly this community is about much more than big horsepower in small sports cars, it is a family. A family that steps up when the call is made. Yesterday we ran our 3rd annual fall cruise and had a decent attendance of 15 cars. Not bad for a day with morning temps in the 30's. This year I added a charity component by asking each person to donate $50 to I AM ALS, an organization helping ALS patients and their families. As we were finishing lunch, Kim handed me a wonderful and touching surprise. A generous check from Dave Smith. It was completely unexpected and brought our total donations to over $3,500.
There is no doubt that Factory Five is operated by a man who is interested in more than profits. You judge a person by their deeds and not their words. Time and again Dave Smith has demonstrated his compassion. Thank you Dave. Thanks for the donation, and thanks for the community that your excellent cars have brought together.
