You KNOW when you're into the GT/CS too much, WHEN...

[PNewitt]

1. See a '65 T-Bird far off, and think it's a fat GT/CS missing it's spoiler.

2. Chase down what you think is another CS at night, and "it's "only" a '68 Cougar". <<sigh>>

3. Tell '68 Rolls Royce owners that their Lucas fog lights are off a GT/CS.

4. You jump at anything you see with side stripes that are halfway up the door.

5. You've figured out how to make a water spray fantail with the hose down the trunklid, and up off the spoiler.

6. You sneer at "Cal" Ghia V-Dubs with the "California Special" emblems on the back.

7. You get behind the guy that just cut you off, and turn on the fog lights, as if they are laser guided missles.

8. You cringe at that same guy that tailgated your "whole rearend" of fiberglass.

9. You tell curious people that the "GT" in GT/CS means "Gas Turbine".

10. When you research and write books about them.

10. for me would be what my husband said. "When the first things you do when you get up in the morning is glare out the window at your GT/CS and then log on to the California Special website." :

12) While driving your standard coupe you imagine what it would be like to drive your CS everyday instead of it.

13. while working on one of your CS's you think to yourself how you can make room for another one.
14. When you think to yourself at some point about owning one of every engine type put into a CS.
15. You keep looking for NOS CS parts even though you don't need them for any of your current CS's.
16. You decide to buy as many CS's as you can to keep from the new company from cloning them into Green Hornets.

for some of us the addiction is strong.

You know when...

17:
You name your twins:

Gregory Thomas and Casey Shea so thay have the initials GT/CS.

18. You keep checking into the die cast model thread to see what the status is, and when you can (someday) buy one.

19. You try to chase down every GT/CS that you see on the road (usually going in the opposite direction), so you can talk to the driver.

20. You check into this site to see if any of the members are going to be in your area soon so you can sit with them and B.S. with them!

21. You catch yourself daydreaming about how you could cross the country in your GT/CS by stopping overnight at other CS owner's homes, and then they fill up your gas tank so you can make it to the next stop.

...then you "wake up", and go: "Nahhh!"...how rude is that?

 

[68sunlitgold]

Paul,
you are welcome at my home...as a matter of fact anyone is welcome to stop by. By the way gas here in Macon is down to $1.95 a gallon which is lower than pre-Katrina.

22. Your wife gets her 401K update in the mail and you go out to the garage to look at your 401k (aka GT/CS 390) that you can drive.

 

[PNewitt]

Gosh, Doug...how thoughtful. Now I really feel guilty for bringing it up.

I once heard of some sort of SAAB collector's club having this "universal owner visitor-need-a-place-to-crash" thing.

So...a friend of mine that was selling his Sonnet, had this guy come by to see the car, and then he brings out his sleeping bag.

Then my friend thought: "OOooohh..KKaaayyy".

It makes you now wonder if you want to be on that GT/CS map thingy now...

???

 

[rvrtrash]

Still no problem here, Paul. You can stay at my place if you need to. You will be bringing copies of your new book, right?:grin: I mean, that's why you're thinking of traveling isn't it, to hand deliver it? I'll chip in for a tank of gas too. :icon_lol:

Hey guys,

The offer's open here also. I'm in St. Louis, right in the middle of the country. I've got room for any travellers coming through this area.
