I get the strong impression Shelby just loves cars. Loves to be around them, consult on building them, be involved with them. I know I feel that way, always have.

It's wonderful that the man has been able to pursue his passion all these years. An athelete may "retire", but they often "stay in the game". As coach, investor, consultent, announcer. Shelby is no different in that regard.

If "money" comes with the position, I don't have a problem with that, and the man deserves not only the money but the accolades that may come with following his passion.

Joe Gibbs is returning to football at 60 plus years old as coach of the Red Skins again. Whaddya think? He should have quit years ago? He's only in it for the money? He's to old to spend it now anyway? MAYBE, the man just loves football (and the contract they gave him wasn't bad either)!

The Red Skins are as happy to have Gibbs back as Ford was to have Shelby back! Life is good, I raise a my glass to the "old geezers" still in the game (and getting paid for it too)!

Shelby loves money and Shelby. And nothing else.

Your pal,
Meat.
