Almost ran into a Cobra
 
Not like anyone cares but I'd just wanted to share.

I was driving down the highway today at around 45ish MPH. The speed limit is 45 MPH. I saw a Cobra stopping at a light at the intersection. I was on the main highway and my lights was green. All of a sudden, HE PULLED OUT!!! He then just stopped his car about half way through the turn and just sat there. I hit my breaks while honking my horn and went into the next lane without even looking if there was any cars. I came pretty close to hitting him even though I was able to avoid it. No accidents this time and I was so glad there was no cars on the other lane, otherwise it would've been pretty bad for me. I didn't even have time to look for the cars in the other lane because it all happened so sudden.

The guy in the cobra just drove off like nothing happened.

I didnt know they had highways that have a 45 mile speed limit, wow, anyways I had a close call today too from my way back from work except it involved a tractor trailer, he decides to join the left lane and hold up traffic so i scoot over to the middle he doesn't see me, and almost plows into me, luckily I jumped to the right most lane, good think the Z has a tight wheel. :driving:

Are you sure it was a cobra? There are lots of replicas on the road and the average person wouldn't know the difference.

Weird, I thought the same.

Glad nothing bad/serious happened OP, I believe playing flute appeases cobra though they can't really hear ;)

I should've been more specific. It's not the Cobra Commander.

I'm definitely sure it's the Shelby Cobra. There's no mistaking it. I don't know why anyone would go out of their way just to replicate. Makes no sense.

dirtrat 09-01-2011 09:41 PM

Yes, you should have been more specific, and why anyone would ever want to replicate a Cobra?

427 Cobra Country--Ford AC Cobra replica manufacturers SUPER-SITE

Manufacturers of Cobra Replica and AC Cobra Replica Kit Cars and Fiberglass Jeep Replacement Parts. Replica Sport Cars and Jeep Accessories

Image Search Results for Shelby Cobra replica

Cobra Country--Shelby Cobra replica SUPER-SITE

Era Replica Automobiles 427 - The premier 427 replica in kit and turn-key

Google and yahoo just came up with THOUSANDS of hits! Hmm, I guess this just makes no sense after all.

You must be young. The Cobra is one of the, if not the, most copied cars in the world.

Do your homework young Jedi.

The pic I posted up is similar to the one today, but different color obviously.

Don't jump into conclusions that I am young just because I don't know much about American cars or cars in general. I know how to drive cars but sure don't know a whole lot about it. Just like I know how to eat a lot of food but can't cook any.
