Oh NO! Not only did Shelby Automobiles use the slogan "Own the Real Thing" on tea cups, but now I find out Shelby American's telephone and fax numbers are "REAL" and "COBRA":
SHELBY AMERICAN, INC.
6755 Speedway Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89115
Tel: 702.942.REAL (7325)
Fax: 702.93.COBRA (26272)
What are the civilians going to think "real" means when Shelby is using the word to sell new Cobras?

At least Evan tries to unconfuse the civilians of their apparent misuse of the question, "Is it real?"
