I think many here have misinterpreted the use of the term "muckracker" in the CNN article posted above. It was used as a noun. A muckraker is someone who seeks out and reveals wrongdoing usually directed toward public officials or corporations. In describing CS as the "Texas muckracker" I think the writer may clearly be referring to CS suit against the replica industry and charges against the replica industry for "counterfeiting" his car. Nothing more.


As Turk points out many here make the guy a villian simply because he is still seeking to make a profit on his name and using it to advantage in an industry he knows and excels at. So what? Who here doesn't seek to make a profit in what they do?

How many of CC member can claim more philanthropic efforts than CS?

I don't know what Shelby loves but if all he loves is money and himself (assuming that includes his family too) how many of you are that much different?

More unabashed CS bashing.

Ridiculous.
