There is a fun Turner reference in the current R&T which has an article by Peter Egan describing helping a friend buy a 1965 Cobra in San Francisco and driving it cross country to North Carolina. Part of the story has:

"At a gas station near Colorado Springs, the cashier asked 'Is that a Turner?'

'No,' Tom said, 'it's a Cobra.'

He stared at Tom blankly, 'Is it made by Chevy?'

When we got in the car, Tom said, 'How can a guy know about Turners, but not about Cobras?'

"He's a rare bird,' I said. 'There can't be 49 people in all of America who have ever seen a Turner.'

'And we're two of 'em. That leaves 47.'"
