    We lost a great man yesterday: Carroll Shelby passed at age 89

    One of those people I always wanted to meet.
    I remember my father taking me to Al Grillo Ford in Lynn,Mass in 1966 when I was 14 and there in the showroom was a Blue and white Shelby GT350 Mustang and beside it
    was a solid red 427 AC Cobra..
    I fell in love with that car and the love affair still continues.

    He overclocked cars because he didn't have computers. He was truly Xtreme.

    I was deeply saddened to learn of Carroll's passing. He was truly a no BS type of guy who built things with his own hands and made them work, and work well. A true pioneer.

    Gamer: Intel Core i7 6950X@4.2GHz, Rampage Edition 10, 128GB (8x16GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum 2800MHz, 2x NVidia Titan X (Pascal), Corsair H110i, Vengeance C70 w/Corsair AX1500i, Intel P3700 2TB (boot), Samsung SM961 1TB (Games), 2x Samsung PM1725 6.4TB (11.64TB usable) Windows Software RAID 0 (local storage).
    Beater: Xeon E5-1680 V3, NCase M1, ASRock X99-iTX/ac, 2x32GB Crucial 2400MHz RDIMMs, eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), Samsung 950 Pro 512GB, Corsair SF600, Asetek 92mm AIO water cooler.
    Server/workstation: 2x Xeon E5-2687W V2, Asus Z9PE-D8, 256GB 1866MHz Samsung LRDIMMs (8x32GB), eVGA Titan X (Maxwell), 2x Intel S3610 1.6TB SSD, Corsair AX1500i, Chenbro SR10769, Intel P3700 2TB.

    Thanks for the help (or lack thereof) in resolving my P3700 issue, FUGGER...
