HAHAHA!
I know I am a wuss for wanting a 2010 Camaro SS with an auto for the sake of making by 80-mile round trip easier, but wow.
Good memory.

Or maybe not, I hear that he remains alive gains power by eating the hearts and souls of virgins during every full moon, or something like that. Kinda like Dick Cheney or George Lucas.

Carroll Shelby is the automotive equivalent of Fidel Castro. He just won't die, no matter how old he gets, how many cigars he smokes, or how many organ transplants he gets.

A spokesperson from the law firm of Little, Peter & Short said that with the suit, they were seeking real damages in the amount of $98,765.76 to cover the repairs to one 2005 Mercedes Benz SLR sports car, damaged while the plaintiff was attempting to replicate an automotive-related stunt or "hoon" in the vernacular of the web site. The spokesperson stated that no warning or declaration of absolution of liability was made by Jalopnik, and hence they are responsible for the damage to their client's car.
In addition, punitive damages totaling $2.1 million dollars was being sought as compensation for the pain and suffering, mental anguish and lack of ability to wear a back-wards cap in public without derision.
SLR Guy was reached for comment by cell phone from his lambo-doored Hummer, where he defended the suit; "Yo, dude, I may be a douchebag, but I have feelings too. I can't go out in public without people seeing me as nothing more than a stereotype. My persona has been besmirched - what if I wanted to grow a chin strap or a taylor? People can be so cruel."
Jalopnik did not return repeated calls for comment, however a request made by this reporter under the posting "PCH" resulted in three 2,200-word responses that were unfit for publishing in this newspaper.

You're a mean one, Mr. S.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as your Cobra,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. S.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, Mr. S.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. S.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You're a vile one, Mr. S.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. S.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.
You're a foul one, Mr. S.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. S.
The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

The FFR Cobra's aren't exact replica's. My brother's has a fatter ass and different front end then Carol's knock offs he is selling. It also has nothing else on it that makes it Shelby or Cobra. The body is the only thing that is a replica. Chassis, frame, drivetrain, all FFR.
Of course we did put the Cobra emblem on the car, so we will be sued next. Maybe have to change it to the GI Joe /Cobra emblem.
Bite me Carroll, it's always been about you and not the cars.
