I read this on another forum and thought it was worth sharing. I did a quick search and didn't see any thing here. This cam from one of the AC Cobra forums.

Didn't see this anywhere in a thread so I decided to post it here. It says the video came out earlier this year. This got the ole tear ducts flowing.

I'll shut up now and let the video speak for itself. If any of the AC Cobra owners are members, thank you.

"We've had a lot of downs," Kathleen Rinard told local Phoenix, Arizona affiliate ABC 15. "But God, this is an up. A very big up."
Both Kathleen and her husband Dayton have been diagnosed with terminal cancer. And Dayton's final wish was to take a ride in an AC Cobra sports car.
I've never been in one before. I wanted to since 1965," said Dayton, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
So with just days to live, Kathleen, suffering from terminal breast cancer, put out a call, asking an owner of a Cobra car to show up at her hospice and give Dayton a ride. Instead, 29 Cobra car owners showed up, giving rides to Kathleen, Dayton and several other residents at the hospice.
"It's going to be my last gift to give to him," Kathleen said. "He's been by my side the whole time."
After taking his first spin in the AC Cobra, Dayton told ABC 15, "It was indescribable. It was beautiful.
The story originally aired back in February 2012 but has been getting some attention online thanks to a recent link from Fark. You can watch the full story below:

I teared up just reading it, no lie. Very cool.

I think you would have to be a pretty cold bastard to not have this tug on your emotions a little.

And after watching it all I could think was...

Amazing. Such a rare thing to hear about people doing nice things these days. Those Cobra Owners should be proud of themselves and deserve a round of applause.



I must say though, this really seems to be how the entire automotive community works... If the guy had a thing for Camaros I'm confident that 29 Camaros would have done this as well. Or vipers, or GTO's, or anything.
