and I bought their sign. That's cool. How many signs do you have? Over a hundred. I'm sure there's people that are like into enough of that stuff where you could do a video just about all the signs you have. It would still probably do well. People come in and then ask if this is real and that's real and that. And I said, "If these were real, I'd be living in islands, not here." They only made six of these original ones.

But when it was built 25 years ago, it was called a 427 Venom because at that point Shelby would sue you if you called it a Cobra once they got through that.

Got elasticity for great stretch and ease of movement, wrinkle resistant, stays smooth even after long hours of sitting or driving, which we do a lot of around here.
