It was the new body style but was painted dull green with blacked out wheels. The front spoiler had fog lights like the last generation Mustang Cobra and was primer-coated. The car had Michigan manufacturer plates and the top of the dash was crowded with gauges, dials and a notebook computer mounted on a stalk. It was pretty sure it was a 2007 Cobra test mule (later confirmed from online sources) and I wanted a photo. I grabbed my trusty LC-5 Lika-Leica, ready to grab some shots. I hit the power switch and nothing! The battery was dead (happens pretty quickly with this model). The driver saw me and hit the gas. Yep, it was a Cobra as it rocketed away leaving my Bimmer 325i in the dust. Digital is nice, but I would have had that shot with my M4-2! Rob McClure
