Hey Evan,
They are JUST cars, a passion, expendible, hopefully enjoyable and not worth sacrificing friendships. I'm sure that you realize that the anamosity is NOT directed towards the car but rather towards the protagionist that insists on ravishing the replica manufacturers. Unfortunately I don't think that Shelby is even at the heart of the aggression but more probably his partner/attorney.These cars mean something to our generation but in 10 years will become meaningless to the rice burner/SUV group. Few of that generation could identify Shelby, Yates, Bondurant, Brock and many icons. We do not own originals, they are expensive continuation cars that are not superior in quality, fit and finish to many other available cars.
I know you personally and enjoy volleying debates but others only know your internet personna, which frequently is not exemplary of the guy behind the keyboard.
