When I lived in California we were at a birthday party and as we were leaving one of the dad's saw we had brought the Cobra and commented on it. I asked if he wanted a ride and after his wife assured him they would be fine until we got back he got in. It took a few minutes to get through town to get to the on-ramp to I8. It was a typical 90* turn onto the ramp so I downshift into first at 35mph and roll on the throttle at the apex. We had to brake hard to avoid rear ending traffic as we merged. Later on I found out from a mutual friend that the short ride on the ramp scared the crap out of him.
