GT/CS still not well known in my area
I went to the Eureka Springs Mustang Show this weekend and within 10 minutes of getting out of my car I had 4 people come up to me and ask what the CS stood for. I guess it surprised me a little bit. I only saw 1 or 2 more at the show so I guess they still aren't very common around here.

Gassed up the other day and a guy in an early '90s T-Bird with exhaust asked me what CS stood for.
Told him California Special and he said "so it has California emissions"

I go to car shows a lot and most people never head of a CS. I've gotten these two questions "Does CS stand for Carol Shelby?" or my fav "Is that a Cobra Snake?" Yes!

I was in a parking lot in Austin Texas and some tool walks by and says...
"Nice car. It would look better if it was a Chevy though."
To which I responded...
"Maybe. But it would be slower."

It's not all about looks you know,(SHE HAD A SPARKLING PERSONALITY) I sized the situation up first,(I WONDER IF I CAN GET ANYWHERE WITH HER?) I was really impressed yet embarrassed that she I think could shift way smoother that I could ?(DOES SHE REALLY BELIEVE THAT LINE?) blew me away
and she was rather striking
(HOTTIE!!!)
and she was rather striking(HOTTIE!!!)Just trying to read between the lines here? (sorry just sippin' on a cold one and couldn't resist)

^^LOL. That's actually how I fell for my wife. I did know her slightly and she asked me to drive my car. At the time a '69 Camaro, built 327 and a four speed manual. With the big cam and way too big carburetor it wasn't the easiest car to get moving from a stop. I thought I'd be in for a good laugh. Well, she didn't stall it and drove like a champ. We'll be celebrating 30 years together this August
