JeffIsHereToo Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Some of you old timers will remember my, or rather MattInChicago's, rants about "JUST SAY NO TO COBRAS" back in the old forum. I think at one point I went on, at great length, of how I never did understand what a snake had to do with a car named after a horse,etc., etc. Well I did it! Last night I put on the Berg gas cap and matching wheel caps! (no pics needed I would think) I know, some may think this turn around signals the coming of the Apocalypse but I think they look great and in the almost two years since those old posts I think I have come to understand the meaning and heritage of "those snakes". Very proud to have them on the car now and even more proud that in the case of the gas cap it was something we all made happen as a group. Looks like a good weekend for car shows!

AFBLUE Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well, I still want to see some pix. Almost all of us has changed our mind on some modification like wheels, pit stripes, hoods, brakes, watts links, superchargers, etc. Tastes change over time .

ejrail Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Jeff, Congrats on the gas cap and hub centers. My hubs are yet to be ordered, but they will be. I like the fact that Shelby verifies your CSM number before they sell you the gas cap. This sets us aside from the wannabes. As I said in another thread, our SGTs have a mixed hertiage of AC Cobras, Mustangs and GT350s. They deserve the Cobra logos on them. The very first items from Shelby Performance I added to my car was the complete aluminum Shelby Cobra filler cap set. I recently added the Cobra fuse box cover as soon as it was available. Does this explain why one of my favorite songs is Bob Seeger-"Against the Wind"? I was excited when I took delivery of my '07 SGt last December. I knew I was getting something special above and beyond the physical vehicle. There has always been the Shelby mistique. I have since read a couple of books about The Man and his cars. I have a much better insight and appreciation of the whole enchilada now. The Shelby name and the Cobra go hand in hand, no matter what Shelby vehicle they adorn. Let the others say what they want. I'll be displaying my car WITH its Cobra logos proudly at the MCA Grand National show in two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pottydr Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 [ I never did understand what a snake had to do with a car named after a horse,etc., etc.) All these years I thought the Mustang was named after the airplane, I guess I learned something today.

I just couldn't resist mentioning that. Hey....if someone does say something about it then at least that will start a whole new clone thread where everyone can debate over it again.
