    I previously read that Letterman had three collector cars, all Ferraris or maybe a Porsche in there.
    But now I read that he showed up in an early Cobra. I can't remember where I read the article but it said
    CSX2006 but I typed that into Google and it said that was the Herbie Hancock car.
    I wonder if this will start a rivalry between Letterman and Leno. Maybe Leno owns a real Cobra now but
    years ago I was at the Fabulous Fords Forever show when a Wisconsin fabricator delivered to him a replica (albeit aluminum bodied) 427 Cobra.I know Letterman knows cars, he was even co-owner of a team that won the Indy 500!

    He lives near my niece in upstate NY and used to cruise the 'hood in a Viper, but may have sold it. If he does run around in a Cobra, she will definitely let me know!
