'Fully aware of the native's view re: "Frisco", Ed/Triheart7! 'Must confess that IS why I use the term. It's been "a thing" with me for years now. 'Just one "flaw" in my otherwise PERFECT personality.:lol ( Bony would frown on it if I were to mention my reasons here...so, I won't.) ('Has nothing to do with the city or "the locals" in general.)
I'll be sure to remember your kind culinary invite, sir! :thumbsup :cheers
('Never heard of the E.P. But, like I said, it's been years - actually decades - since I've been down there. 'Closest I've been is Hurst's Castle last spring.:biggrin)

Anyone who was on the So Cal leg of the Rally III rally to Vegas, remembers in Baker California, as we were leaving one of the world's most famous restarurants, the Baker Bun Boy next to the world's tallest thermometer, pulling up along the south side of the Mad Greek restaurant before turning right to take the less traveled road to Pahrump. The emptying out of the Mad Greek Restaurant with patrons and their cameras taking pictures of 12 FGTs pulled into the emergency lane waiting to get all our ducks in a row before heading out to Pahrump at about 130 mph! Know the feeling Fast Eddie!

Ed,
Beach Blanket Babylon, at the Club Fugasi, a must if you have never seen it. 7PM show is an excellent time in North Beach, dinner afterwards, no FGT parking, however!

When you are driving along and get a visual show of appreciation by other drivers, preferably female, be sure to take pictures of those incidents also.
Jones may recall a Chevy Tahoe travelling at a fast clip that had some nice displays of affection during our trip back from Rally III.
Unfortunately, no pictures to share.

Teatro Zinzanni is also a lot of fun. Right on the water (although you wouldn't know it since the "show" all happens inside a permanently erected circus style tent) with easy access and lots of parking. Have been to both the Zinzanni and Babylon several times -- they constantly change the performance -- and both are a hoot.

GT parking & GT attention getter
AtomicGT, atspeed & others - great recommendations on SF stuff to do. I've done them so you are all right. As far as parking most hotels I go to will let cars park in front (for example the Fairmont has around 4 spaces next to the front door that are for VIPs) for a generous tip to the one in control of those spots. Depends on long you want to park but $50-100 is somehwere to start. Park at the hotel & take a cab to the show, restaurant, etc.
Now back to the thread topic - when I've driven other exotics I haven't had the amount of attention than when I drive my GT. Has this been the case for others? It's amazing that the GT's shape is 40 years old & still turns heads & drops jaws!

The reflection's not as good, but the subject cars are AWESOME!!! So, here's one from our recent California run of a reflection of Nick's GT in Bob's GT :thumbsup Maybe I should find one of my car or their car reflecting in mine so it's not red on red......

For the next Rally we need to have Jason put one of his mirror finishes on a black stripe delete and then take pictures.

I have only had one other car that got more attention than the GT. It was a 1949 Cadillac Sedanette that I had redone in street rod fashion. I only think it got more attention because more people could identify with it. I literally would have people drive up next to me and ask me to pull over so they could check out the car.
