Default Re: Carroll Shelby Licensing Response

Here's how a lawyer might see it: Say a guy bought one of the old cancelled Shelby checks on eBay that was innocently given away by one of the SAAC guys years ago. The buyer leaves it on the kitchen table, it falls on the floor and the baby eats it. The baby survives but has brain damage from oxygen deprivation linked directly to choking on the paper. The only part of the check that survived the incident has Carrol Shelby's signature and company name on it. The family of the injured baby, faced with immense hospital and future care expenses, calls a lawyer. The lawyer looks for the deepest pockets, the lawyer quickly realizes that it's Carroll Shelby and Co. and files the suit. (Pain and suffering by the parents, hospital and future life care expenses for the baby, the millions of dollars the baby would have earned if he/she had grown up and lived a normal life and made millions of dollars, etc., etc.) That is how I think a lawyer would look at this--on both sides.

No offense to lawyers. Everyone hates lawyers until they need one.
