[DeTomaso] Qvale Mangusta/Bigua

[Gray Gregory]

Speaking of Carl, What's up with his Shelby? I haven't seen him at any events in a long time. Did he ever get it back together?

POCA member Carl Stein in Sacramento.   He has driven it to a regional SCCA 
championship as well.

It's a very fast, well-developed car, but it consumes money at a horrific 
rate.   He figures that it costs at least $2500-3000 each time he runs it 
(factoring in fuel, tires, brakes, maintenance, and other expenses).   So after 
winning the championship, he has temporarily parked it, waiting for the economy to turn back around.

It was featured in the 2006 No. 4 POCA Profiles.

Cheers!

Mike
