Shelby Article on Front Page

Who decided to post that?

There are multiple errors in the title alone.

Plus the photos are fake and that isn't in the article either.

Come on...

Thats for pointing it out Jake. I pulled the article, and will bring it up to the attention of the IB staff to try and prevent stuff of that nature making it up again. The car is real, just the photos are faked apperently (and badly done i might add).

It's a fake, easy to see the blur tool marks under the front tires.

Idk who it is on the editing staff at IB honestly. I've sent this to Robb, our liaison for him to check out.

Ok well the photo has been changed, but the title is still wrong.

It should be 2012 not 2013 and there is a H missing in shelby.

This is an easy fix. They need to throw some stickies on there and do it for real.
