wow. wonder what the inappropriate behaviour was?
I've met this guy at Dearborn in 2012, along with Dave Pericak and others.
I asked Raj if he could make the Shelby GT500 a little more affordable, and I got a very smart ass answer.....later followed by a joke.
I was always impressed how both Raj and Hai Hue got to the very top of the ladder at Ford, but this has me curious now.
Raj was at Barrett-Jackson this year too as Ford's rep.
