He’s in the wrong country; this dude should be a Taliban leader, in Afghanistan.

Have a look at this.

I’m guessing this guy is just outright lying.

It’s a snake pit.

Somewhat related, from Los Angeles Times, 1993:

Car Trouble? : Autos: Questions have been raised over Carroll Shelby’s claim he’s building 43 of his classic Cobras using original chassis. Shelby says he’s the victim of a business feud.

If it’s too cold out maybe it can be postponed until Mother’s Day.

It’s exactly what they’ve done, and it can work both ways.

They should do another one of these as the opening salvo.
