Quite the most beautiful machine ever designed, and my dream car.

I love the story that Shelby would take people for a test drive, place $100 bill on the dash, and tell them if they can grab it they can keep it. When they reached forward, he hit the accelerator. He never lost.

I used to work with a girl who was named Shelby after the car.

Was she as curvy as the car?

She was, actually. She flashed me at one point, so I can attest. We used to play kiss chicken, but never actually managed to connect. That is a very tough game and pretty arousing as well.
