Cobra Dragonsnake - Keeper of the Gold

So let me get this straight:

In 1967 you bought a used Shelby Cobra race car for $3,600. You then fast-talked the New York State DMV into giving you plates for a 64 Ford Sedan, VIN 2019, so you could legally drive that record-setting, ex-factory "Dragonsnake" race car on the street. You did this because you thought none of the Cobras Carroll Shelby built for sale to the general public were balls-to-the-wall fast enough.

After half a lifetime of a never-dull relationship during which your hot-blooded Jezebel restrained herself any number of times from doing you in, you had her shipped off to a Mecum muscle car auction outside of Chicago where she was hammered sold for a record one and a half million dollars.

$1,433,500.00 after commission, to be exact. Dang, really? That's enough to put a fellow on easy street with a boatload of happy days. No hard feelings there, that's the life she wanted you to have. Besides, when at the end of your final mile together you said goodbye and left the keys, the skies began to smile on her, too. After years in obscurity, Jezebel found herself back in her glory days. She was once again the star she was born to be."
