Carroll Shelby sues his fan club:

"The lawsuit is the latest step in a battle between Shelby and the 5000-member for-profit club. Shelby claims the club has not been involving him in marketing efforts and providing him with financial statements--requirements of a licensing agreement with the club."

Sounds interesting...

You break contract, you suffer the consequences. This IS capitalism.

The man has been all about making a buck his whole life. Once he became famous as a race driver and then as a car manufacturer he's been a hard @ss about getting his way.

If the contract/agreements are as stated in the article, I don't see it as him being a hard ass, just protecting his interest.

Biased for being a hardass? I can vouch for that.

Letter of the law and the contract. That's me.

I know it's hard to believe, but people that know me in person think I'm a nice guy.

I'm not a cult leader....but I could be.

Based on that one Elf-yourself picture..you do kinda look like Jim Jones.

LOL Who the hell is Jim Jones? (I can't believe you remember that!)

Edit: Nevermind. Looked him up. Please don't associate me with anyone religious...especially a zealot.

LOL Wackjobs are one thing. Religious wackjobs are a completely different animal. Can you find a nice wackjob who wasn't a religious wackjob to associate me with if you must?

You can still be a hard ass about protecting your interests. I was saying that he has a history of being a fighter. You guys took it way out in left field.
