thanks to my Jeep doing what Jeeps do best, i had to drive the Cobra to work this morning. Ford saves the day again. (side note: Cobra runs like a mother in sub 10* weather)
after the cold weather mechanical issues i decided to grab some hot chow on the way to work. hitting a BK i'm familiar with i place my order then proceed to the window.
kid at the window was eye balling my car hard as i pulled up. before he takes my cash he says "is that a V6 or 8?". with a polite smile i simply say "it's a V8". he continues to check out the car between counting change and waiting for my order to magically appear from the back.
isn't the sound of a V8 fairly recognizable? my car has 1 7/8 headers, o/r x and stingers... it's not exactly quiet. this particular drive-through also has a 6' privacy fence running the length of the lane, making the sound that much louder. who doesn't know the sound of a V8 idling?
.... i blame hybrids, mini-vans and hippie cars for kids not knowing what a proper V8 sounds like.
after the way my morning started i thought this was amusing and wanted to share.
