Whom Can You Trust?

While surfing the channels yesterday I ran across Carroll Shelby doing an ad for Zmax motor oil additive. No doubt this stuff is right there with STP and Duralube. An internet search found no good news.

Is this the infamous Snake Oil ?

I see him doing that add on TV here quite often. According to what he says that is all he will put into his Super snakes. I just figure it was another paid add and don't really pay a lot of attention as all the adds are always the best of whatever they are, no matter who they hire to do the pitch.

Saw Jimmy Johnson, ex Dallas Cowboy head coach / Miama doing in add for a quick rich investment trader scheme. There is no pride anymore, everyone is a whore for the dollar and will lie, steal, cheat to get it. I only wish I had an avenue to do the same.

it looks like that press release was from 2001? I guess they weren't successful at stopping them from selling it.....
