Carroll Shelby died today. Sad day for car lovers.

For those who don't know he made some of the most iconic muscle cars in US history. He is one of the great automotive minds.

He served in the Air Force in WW2 and got a heart transplant in 1990. After his surgery he founded a charity that worked to finance organ transplants for kids.

As an owner of a 67 Shelby Mustang I have always admired and appreciated his brilliance.

I broke the car out today and took it for drive with the top down and Springsteen's Born to Run blaring in memory of Carroll. He will be missed.
