What happens if they tight the lawsuit?

Hi Matt!

Not to worry, at his age he'll forget all about it tomorrow....

"made large some of money"

Me flunk English? That's unpossible!

Douchebags. Pay the man!

@Supergome: Case in just I take me sum classes of review at community college.

He's suing them for transplantable arteries.

Someone's gotta pay for his gold coffin.

@Brian B: Fuck him. He demands the SAAC's owner registry? How much money could the SAAC have really made, versus the amount of money that they made him by promoting his marque and protecting it from counterfeiters? A club of 5,000 members at $50 a year? Shelby is a cock.

I can save you some time with future headlines; just cut n' paste the following, replacing "___" with that day's applicable noun:

Carroll Shelby Sues ____

He is the king of all pricks.

He'd shoot an 7 year old cancer patient's dog right in front of him if he could make a nickel by doing so.

The "early bird" dinner special may be discounted, but it ain't free friend.

oh, he's probably just pissed about losing last years chili cookoff.

if i make it to be old, and especially if i make it to be old *and* rich, i'm not going to waste my time with any shit like this even if it's justified. i'm going to have my broker set up an account with TireRack because i'm going to do donuts all day every day. the rest of the money i'm going to blow on 19-year-olds and pills from spam emails.

fella better start living right before it's too late

"I'm rich Bitch"....famous words heard from Carroll Shelby and Dave Chappelle

There's a reason many corporations have a mandatory retirement age.

Shelby really needed to step aside a long time ago, and just let his name live on as synonymous with "awesome in the 60s."

Instead, he's remembered as a cantankerous old ass with plenty of money who's always suing people.

I realize they're using his name, but he put his name on the cars (right?). It's not like Herr Doktor Benz's family goes around suing the SLR owners club.

@badco-fascism: I hear his is a transplant.

@clinto: Shoot the 7 year old cancer patient and take his/her usable arteries.

Carroll Shelby is the only guy I know whos's deathclock shows a negative number...

I could use Some of Money?

There is an article on this in the current Car & Driver. The "club for people who have cars with the name we cannot mention that are genuine versions of the car with the name we cannot mention", or CFPWHCWTNWCMTAGVOTCWTNWCM, just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I definitely want to get a Factory 5 Cobra, oops Carroll has just sued me, I mean '65 Roadster, at some point. For the mid $20's assembled it's a damn nice kit.

I wish I could sue someone for using my name...

@badco-fascism: I was being ironic. Poorly, apparently. Seriously, I'm still pissed that one of childhood heroes has turned out to be such an ass hat. Who's next? Chuck Yeager?

I respect Carroll Shelby. But I have more respect for Rodney Dangerfield.

So sad.
Jalopniks agree, Shelby sucks ass.

I'm going to sue Jalopnik for putting my username above everyone of my quotes without asking me.

Oh. Yeah. Now that made just as much sense.

Think Isuzu will follow suit?

Wow. That would be like Jesus taking the 12 Apostles to court.

Shelby is an old chicken farmer who really mastered the art of chicken shit moves.

When he does kick the bucket, that Sh*lby club should stock up on these to distribute at his funeral...

good for Carrol. He's a tough old buzzard.

Dear Carol,

Thanks for putting a V-8 into somebody else's car.

Also, thanks for spending the ensuing years crapping all over that legacy.

Goes to show that everyone gets exactly one good idea in their lifetime.

Did some neat shit in his day, but sorry to say, that was yesterday. Or day before yesterday.

Guys, if you've had to go through life with a chick's name, wouldn't you be a cranky bastard too?

Cut it out, Shel'.

When is it engouh?

Everything Carroll Shelby touches turns into a lawsuit. He's the unfortunate skewed Midas of our time.

More of the same from this guy. The closer he gets to death, the more of a joke he becomes.

He should just be thanking the people of AC Cars, Ford, and all the fans of the Cobra at this point.

I still like the car, but shelby is douchebag.

I dare any of you to say this five times fast:

"She sells Shelby Edition sea shells by the seashore."

Yeah, try it.

Oh,

Oh, and

Shelby

As far as I'm concerned, if you put your name on your car and people buy that car, they have a right to make fan clubs, publish their own pictures of their cars, and otherwise do whatever they like with their car. If current caselaw doesn't support that under TM law, we should get a law that says so. That'll shut Shelby, Ford and all the rest of those trademark bullies up.

He's a rich old greedy bastard who's outlived his usefulness. Screw him and the Mustang he rode in on.

Wow, instead of beintg flattered and humbled by a cult-following of your work, you're suing them?!

FoMoCo, take note: Drop any of your lineup that has Shelby's name attached to it. This lawsuit may get ugly and it will not do your products any service to have Shelby anything on the badges. I should be charging you a consulting fee, but seeing as you're a failing car company, I take sympathy on you and this one is on me.

What's so good about "Shelby" anything? All he's done is put bigger displacement engines in regular cars. They go fast in a straightline but become tree wrappers in the twisties.

The SAAC should just become the Anglo-American Auto Club, or whatever it might be, lose the images, but then restrict membership to owners of Shelby vehicles.

What could the old coot do?

Guess he wants to get the owners registry to sue all the cats who pulled down fake ones and retitled as '60s cars... remember that story- the cop bitching about the warranty for a bad motor ends up bringing down an entire back industry of title fraud, Cobra fraud and even gets Boyd Coddington at the same time...

Like Ford is any better? They are too busy suing mustang parts companies out of business because they didnt put "classic or vintage" in front of their name...
