I was so bummed when I heard the day AFTER Rides aired that it was about Carroll Shelby ... Then I saw the car... eeeeeehhhhh...

Visually, I like what he did with the the 'Series 1' (and even the original Dodge Viper) a lot more than what they did with this new 'retro-cobra.'

There is a 1/18 scale '427', 'Daytona' Coupe (the '65, not the Dodge), and a 'Series 1' on my desk here at the office ... I think ALL of them look better than the new Ford. But beggars can't be choosers.

Anything Carroll Shelby is okay in my book
(well, except maybe that little POS econobox 'Shelby Omni' 'VW rabbit' clone)

I got to meet the man last year in Atlantic City. I would definitely love to just sit and BS with him for about an hour. Way too cool

Anyway, I read they are re-airing that episode of Rides at the end of February.
