Ant beds is what you meant? I thought it was a typo. Is an ant bed a thing?

You might know them as an ant hill.

Oh, I missed that one. Our ants are pretty wimpy. We dont get ant hills around here, they are more like a tiny hole in the ground with some dust around it.

The identities of the ants have been kept secret to protect the innocent.

Damn! we dont have shit like that here. We had fire-ants in Florida but they didnt build hills like that.

So who's the rocket scientist that crammed their arm down an ant hill?

I used to kick ant beds all the time, when I lived in SC.

I never stood next to 'em afterwards though Never got bit, either. Except for one time when my neighbor knocked on my door, and I walked outside in my bare feet to talk to him, and there happened to be a couple of fire ants walking about on the sidewalk. One bit me :(

I have no idea, some dimwit photographer was caught up in the photo moment and must have not looked before he layed down.

Saw this while out and about a little while ago. Had to have Mrs OGG grab a quick pic.

Since it's election day how about a big ol' "Muricuh! Fuck yeah!" From the Yankee forumites.

Hmmm, it's hard to tell on the phone but I'm guessing repli-cobra?

More than likely. The largest builder of Cobra replicas is about 4 miles away...

I'm pretty sure yellow wasn't an original color.

Actually, if I was planning on driving one more than once...

I'd rather have a replica.

Yep, the real ones are so expensive, you should leave it in the vault and drive the replica for fun.

True, I like that car a lot, but I have no desire to own one.

It's amazing to think that they couldn't give those or GT40's away when they were new.

I was speaking strictly in terms of real world driveability. I drove a friend of mines original 427 and it was white knuckle terrifying. The brakes took herculean strength to get anything out of, and even when they worked, they didn't work well at all.

Plus, it was shockingly tail happy and would spin like a top with no warning.

The few replicas I have driven were just as fast, but had modern brakes, suspension, and crash protection. They are in a totally different league, and can be had by mere mortals.

It would be neat to own an original from a collectors point of view, but I want a car I can drive and enjoy without worrying about it like Cameron did his fathers Ferrari, or being scared shitless that the car was going to kill me.

While all replicas are not created equal, and there are some turds out there, the good ones are the bizniss!

I think it is pretty generally accepted that the 289 Cobra was actually a much better car.

Saw this yesterday. Different. Looks like a fun ride.

Something else. Tricycle 2 tires in front. With aerodynamic shell.
