I almost threw up... My girlfriend and I were cruising around in wine country around Napa, CA. We stopped for something to eat, and while she was looking at a couple shops, I saw a new Cobra up the street.
As I got closer, I could see some glittery stuff on the side of the driver's door (he was nowhere around). Then it hit me... from across the street I could clearly make it out... this clown had gone down the the local Mercedes dealer and bought the chrome letters off one of the blown AMG cars:
K O M P R E S S O R
And stuck them, poorly (they didn't line up well), on his driver's side door. And on the rear valance. And on the passenger door. And had attached 2 fart cans to the Cobra's pipes, without trimming the length, so they stuck a good 2" farther than they should.
Even though my girl was hungry, I couldn't eat for an hour, and even then it was after...
Idiot!

Sadly, it was a real Cobra. I always check the front brakes. If it hadn't had the tacky tips welded on, I might have thought it was a sick joke. I didn't have my camera, and after I realized what I was looking at, my vision got (Make it go awaayyyy 
) blurry as the nausea set in.
Thanks about my sleeper. First car I've been able to tune at night on the computer and then, from inside the car, tweak while I'm driving with a laptop (I mostly pull over). ****, being able to datalog everything is cool as hell, and once you have a wideband on your car, you can become your own tuner.
