The Dream Garage, Part 1

shelby_cobra4-4-07.jpg

I love cars. I have always thought it would be great fun to have a project car that I worked on and tinkered with. I'm not talking putting big rims on your civic and calling yourself a baller (or Paul Walker). My thoughts go more along the lines of classic restorations and such. Unfortunately, my knowledge of automobiles doesn't go much farther than a jump-start and I have never even changed my own oil. It doesn't really matter because I don't own a house, and therefore don't have a garage where I can work on my project cars. Therefore, it also doesn't bother me that I don't have the money or time to take up this hobby anyway.

For the near future, my auto fetish will continue to be salved by four wheel drifts in Gran Tourismo and perhaps new rims on my Acura at some point. That doesn't mean a guy can't dream, and therefore I submit my first choice for a project car: the Shelby Cobra 427. I don't know why I like this car so much. It's simple. It turns heads. It goes fast. The engine sounds so good you don't even need a radio. There is enough room for you plus whatever girl you are trying to impress.

What else do you really need?

Do you watch the Barrett-Jackson car auctions on the Speed channel. They auctioned off Shelby's own Cobra in January...it was awesome.

That Shelby is hot. My hubby loves cars, and is always looking at them like he's going to buy. I tell him as long as I'll look cute driving it, it's fine with me.

I saw Bill Cosby on the Tonight Show tell a very funny story about one of these cars. Maybe you should see if you can get a part time job in Jay's garage.

Ms. Tumnus, I LOVE the Barrett-Jackson auction. They just had the Palm Beach edition on about two weeks ago. I watch it for hours on end. Total porn for car lovers.
