Just wanted to honor the passing of automotive legend Carroll Shelby. His contribution to racing and the automotive industry will live on forever. I never had a chance to meet Mr. Shelby, but when I was serving our country back in the late 1980's, my dad when he worked at Chrysler was able to meet him and got him to personally sign a photo of him with the Indy 500 Dodge Viper. Figured I would share it out of respect to him.

We as gear heads can only hope to do 5-10% of what he did in his life.He might have been a true ford guy at heart,you have to admit he was the man,the whole gear world will miss him.But his life is some thing to look at and make you say,if a chicken farmer can do that,then I should get my ass of the couch and do something worth while,and really look at your life,mrmopartech
