Yesterday 11 people died in two car crashes involving drivers speeding the wrong way. In Florida, an SUV driving against traffic hit a Hyundai Sonata carrying four young<wm> girls. Unbelievably the driver did nothing.
Tampa driver Steven Stelko and his cousin Jimmy were driving the SUV when an SUV was seen running a red light by Stelko's cousin, who failed to stop. They all ran red lights in one long, dark stretch of highway and were running fast enough not to be stopped for a number of miles. They then lost their vehicles and crashed into a Hyundai Sonata and four girls.

Shelby's<wm> design was so influential, it made him a household name, and his story has become a modern legend in sports and entertainment. You might think he was a talented car designer, but there may be another factor at play in his suit against the film and entertainment industry. That factor was a massive case of... trademark dilution.
By copying Shelby's design, the film industry gained thousands of licensed copies, causing an increase in its value and use on the street and on TV. All that profit could make</wm> it nearly impossible for a design like this to be sold at high price points in the first place.
