Can anyone tell me the history behind this sticker? If you're easily offended, I'd suggest passing on this one.

Well that lewd phrase came from the 80s haven't heard it since, It was a regular phrase used on the left coast by the Valley Dudes, probably didn't sell too many.
reverse side of Howard Pardee's business card
That makes sense, real men that put their neck on the line in NAM or any other conflict back then used terms like that.Or was that Kopec? Similar to the F-U card. it is funny with your buddies, just not in mixed company.

That is a Cobra Automotive made sticker I believe from the 90's until recently. It is like a rebel flag sticker or the "N" word in that they are not acceptable in modern society .
There was, at least 2 versions, (graphics, a little different) of that sticker.
I believe, Kress T-Shirt Co., was a source, of one of them.

I remember back in the 80's Biddle wore a t-shirt with "small blocks are for punks."

The club has always enjoyed a rivalry between the show cars and the race cars. I think everyone realizes they would not survive independently.
As Bob mentioned, that single word is insanely toxic.
Want to turn off 51% of the population? Drop that C-word in their presence.
It is not just now. I was told 38 years ago that nothing offends a woman as much that word.
Use at your own risk.......or peril.
The point could have been made with a big more class and still been funny.
I have one of those stickers, had it duplicated to read..CONCOURS IS FOR PUNKS..... ;D.....classy enuff?....LOL!!
Yes,
But I wasn't sharing my comment cause I was offended. But I live in a world with the people would be offended. And when they aren't happy, my life doesn't go as smoothly. I am guessing you all know what I mean.
I agree Michael...I altered mine because I found the C word offensive, but still wanted the sticker to be funny....:)
I guess my senses are a little dulled being around the construction trades for so long, the iron workers and the pipe fitters usually use words and phrases that make that word child's play. it aint right, its just a different part of society that has a lot of rough edges and must exist as we know it. I guess that's where the phrase, if it was easy they would have woman and children doing it! you don't here that too much either just amongst the old timers. ;)

My favorite was the FPP Tee-shirt I had in the 80's
This is your brain; (FORD Blue oval)
This is your brain on Drugs; (Chevy Bowtie)

It was one of Kopec's pranks. Putting it on a Parde business card, passing them out was blaming it on Howard and making stickers and sneaking around and planting them on unsuspecting cars was all part of it.
What C#nt came up with that saying?
QSS

I thought that sounded like an old-time Kopec/Pardee sorta deal... seems like there were always some similar "pranks" in the Snakebite ???
YEP...Kopec gave me one of those many moons ago............ :P
The word should be used sparingly for a more devastating effect when you roll it out.

I haven't used the word personally in a couple of decades. I do remember it though but I had to think about it? I have pictures somewhere that I can refer to. ;)
This post reminds me of the George Carlin skit on the fifty dirty words. ;)
...and here we are discussing the word @UNT on the Shelby forum. Words can't express how proud I am to be part of this group :(
remember when this forum was inundated with endless posts about local cars and plane shows...those were the days. :'(

It would be easy enough to make it "Cants" and still work...

Well I do drive a cuntvertible now and then... ;)
^^^^^LOL!
Interesting how many women love convertibles but roll the windows up in hardtops rather than have a breeze run through the cabin.
Most ALL women love verts,just something about them. A performance vert, is a whole new level of fun.
I still have my Ford Power Parts shirt with the Ford oval and the Chevy Bowtie. The Ford oval has "This is your brain". Above the bowtie it says " This is your brain on drugs, any questions?" I have got the finger a time or two for wearing it. Most are smart enough not to engage me physically. :D :D :D

I like to look at the beautiful cuntryside.
I love the smells one only sense in a convertible in the countryside.
