Walking The Tiger

  
For someone who growls a lot about the evils of Big Oil and irresponsible gas consumption, I was pretty easily seduced by the look, feel and sound of the 1965 Carroll Shelby Cobra I've been driving around for a couple of days. The annual Carmel 'Concours on the Avenue' is in town and so is my buddy Roberto and his new piece of blood red rolling thunder. What's it like to drive the Cobra? Imagine walking through your local downtown with a muscular and nervous Bengal Tiger on a leash, and hoping you can exact the proper control should it decide to break free and go crazy. Intense... that's what it's like.
