When my kids were in dipers they would fall asleep in my 427 cobra. The shaking and noise would put them to sleep. One time back around 1974 it was hot out and when I put my younger son in the car the hot seat caused him to pee and it went right through his dipers. It ended up hardning some of the leathe seat. One other time I was pulling up to a stop behind a truck and my son had fallen asleep across the gear shifter. I looked down to move hid head so I could take it out of gear and I rolled into the truck and dented the aluminum nose pannel. Didn't do anything to the truck.

@seeharvester ....Really..? George Wallace was a bigoted, overtly racist segregationist Governor of Alabama who served 3 terms beginning in 1963. He personally stood at the entrance of the University of Alabama to prevent black students from entering during segregation in 1963. He later was paralyzed from the waist down in an automobile accident, but continued his political career from a wheelchair..

Look up the article titled "What it means to drive a Cobra" by Dan Mroz. It is summarized near the end by the car whispering to the owner "If you take me for granted, I will kill you." With a short wheelbase, and an awesome power to weight ratio, the Cobra has caught out many a driver, and some have ended up taking a dirt nap.

Dear Daniel Brealey, I don't know how old you are, or how bright you are, soooo......, I will try to be gentle as I attempt to educate and edify you, but believe it or not, Bill Cosby IS a car guy just like Leno, Letterman, Newman, etc. In the Mid 1960's when Cosby's comedy career was starting to reach it's first levels of success, along with his role in the television show, "I Spy", in which he co-starred with Robert Culp, Cosby invested in many successful businesses and enterprises which made him very very wealthy like,... Quincy Jones wealthy. You can look the Quincy Jones reference up so that you understand how wealthy Cosby was becoming, in an era when very few black people even in entertainment were accumulating wealth, he was becoming incredibly wealthy. In the process of becoming a very wealthy entertainment icon, Cosby catered to one of his hobbies, and that was high performance exotic cars, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Jag's,etc. He purchased and invested in these items because, believe it or not he is, and, was a gearhead, and continued to be so throughout his career, until the ultimate demise of his reputation and career. There are interviews in "Playboy", and on television with him tooling around in one of his exotic sports cars,......., decades before this interview with Leno, so before you shoot your mouth off with an uneducated statement of opinion, do some research, I am sure that it will help your reputation as it applies to your intelligence or lack there of. Oh, and if you are one of the younger generations, who saw that horrible movie with Owen Wilson that was out a few years ago called "I Spy", that movie was a cheap reboot of the Cosby TV show that I referenced above from the Mid-60's. As movie icon Clint Eastwood said in one of his "Dirty Harry" films "A man has got to know his limitations". So know your knowledge and intelligence limitations before you fire off an opinion, you see no matter what opinions we might have about Cosby in this day and age, he knew his limitations as it applied to that Cobra Super Snake 🐍 that Shelby had painstakingly created for him, unlike the Cobra's next owner who died in that very car!!! Know your limitation!!!
