At the end of my 10 day thousand mile "Tour de Cobra" from Baltimore to Shamokin Pa to Rochester NY to Syracuse NY to Albany NY, took a 2 hour detour through NYC on the way back to Baltimore. Hundreds of folks took smartphone pics and I got endless amount of honks, thumbs ups, and comments (e.g. "what the hell is that thing, is it a racecar?"). Cobras must be few and far between in the city. Not shocked, as the traffic, potholes, construction, commercial double parking, tolls, pedestrians crossing against traffic, and numerous urban assault vehicles (aka taxis) make it a daunting proposition. Fun on a singular basis though!

You're one brave soul! I thought driving in Boston and Atlanta was bad. I can't imagine how hectic it is in the Big Apple. But you made it in and out without incident so your good. Way to go. WEK.

I don't know if I would have had the cajones to try that!

BTW I added another image that I rotated for you. Hope you don't mind...

Hasn't been done with this much style since back in '76 when they filmed the Gumball Rally and ran those cars through the streets of New York City!!! Nice job, man!!!

Outstanding! Beats the hell out of the yellow cabs they're use too. Great adventure. Nick
