you should have asked him to do it. The ONLY reason he changed his name was to avoid being drafted. (the whole NOI excuse was something cooked up by his handlers which he admitted years later) That makes him a selfish son of a bitch. If you find some old interviews of him from back in the day, he was not trying to avoid the draft for any other reason than he "didn't want to be inconvienienced." I'd have refused to refer to him as anything but Cassius Clay.

Ask him if that Z-max **** is any good..
"I've built over 100 different kinds of cars… Shelby Cobra, over 20,000 Shelby Mustang, the Viper…at 77, I wanted to see if I could build another good automobile like the Cobra. I call the car the Series One. We're putting zMAX in each and every one that leave the factory. It penetrates the metal, decreases the friction, cleans the carbon residue out of the engine. Therefore it gives you a more efficient engine and a lot more durability. I've got my reputation to protect and I wouldn't recommend zMAX unless I knew it worked."
