We've seen everything now... Carroll Shelby accused of sexual assault.

[Rick Modena]

He's pretty much raped everyone who's bought any of the shit with his name on it over the past 10 years...

HAHA! Fucking nice..

I think it's funny all the people that clown on Shelby. The man is a legend.

I guess you can have your dash signed by Steve Saleen or Jack Roush, they're nice guys, but compared to Carroll Shelby they haven't accomplished shit. Shelby retired from driving in 1959 (after winning the 24 Hours of LeMans) because he had a heart condition - and he's still alive today. His team won the 1965 FIA world championship.

You just let me know when your name is emblazoned on one of the top-five most valuable cars ever built. Until then, keep on hatin'...

It's not rape if you ask for it while flashing a fist full of dollars.

Also agree with Danny's comment below.

So he did a lot of great things. It doesn't erase the fact that he waved his magic VIN wand over a bunch of crappy movie car clones built by crooks. I'll never forgive him for that.

To use a way-too-extreme example to illustrate my point: Hitler was a great public speaker and was the leader of a whole country, so we can't hate on him, right? Point being, a great resume can be worthless if you show up to the job interview with no pants on. Also, you don't have to be on equal accomplishment footing to criticize someone. You just have to have a good reason, and I have mine.

Doesn't mean I don't want a real Shelby or that I wouldn't shake the man's hand if I had the opportunity, but I reserve the right to hold what I deem as poor decisions over his head.

This thread makes me want a CSX.

[CJ]

This really sounds like some far fetched bullshit.

[Tyrone Biggums]

Look here missy, how many autographed posters will it take to make this all go away?

...?

[talisman]

Danny, you going to take that kind of shit off Blake?

[GrayStangGT]

Him and Clayton Williams should hang out, sounds like they would get along.











For those that don't know.

It appears that he is.

[papapepper]

Wow... I'm speachless

[80coupe]

easy money!

[ALLAN]

Good that he gets sued for a change.

Maybe he will leave other companies alone.

Fuuuuuck no!

Blake, your mother is a hamster and your father smells of elderberries.
