Not to offend any cobra folks that may be lawyers (the fact you have a cobra automatically makes you a fine, upstanding individual), but the fact is, lawyers get paid to litigate. It just might be that Shelby Inc. has a few too many on retainer.

Someone mention that Mr. S has a right to protect his legacy. OK, maybe so -- I won't dispute that we're entitled to say what our name goes on. But I'm wondering what that "legacy" would have been today without the direct efforts of SAAC, and an enduring group of people willing to spend a significant amount of money to put a cobra on the street.

People are talking about taking the "Shelby" and "cobra" badging off of their cars in protest. Another long-time owner refered to his car as an "AC replica". Why? It all seems to point back to the destructive activities of Shelby Inc. It's as if they're only concerned with drawing off as much profit as possible in the short term, with no concern for the real "legacy" -- the lasting popularity of the cars.

Damn, I hate this.
