Default RIP Carroll Shelby
R.I.P to one of the greatest "car guys" of all time. The father of the Cobra will be missed.

I have aways admired Carroll Shelby, and even got to meet him at his 80th Birthday party. The auto world lost a legend today....Tough bussiness man, great at making deals and cars.
