Thank you Mark


Doug with regard to the Ford-Ferrari issue, its not like the F1 car is marketed and sold to people as the F150. It is a one off unique creation that will be rendered outdated by the time next season arrives.

To me it does not appear to be an issue. I'm somewhat aware of the rivalry the two companies, but I dont see it as an issue. A court of law (or you) may disagree

^ That story has my blood boiling
Blaming Lexus/Toyota is retarded!!!
The woman should be put in jail for negligent homicide. Arrogant witch ought to take responsibility for her actions, simple as that. It pisses me off our culture has turned into the blame game
Lexus/Toyota should not be held liable. That said, I was driving my Dad's Avalon in Florida and can see how it would be easy to walk away from the car with it running. I came close a couple of times myself.

Back to stock class autocross allowances...

Forgot to add any front swaybar that mounts in the stock location.

Morning Upstate

I'm with Doug on the F150 issue. It was silly for Ferrari to name it that, there are plenty of other alphanumeric options. The f-150 is ford's best selling vehicle and I don't blame them for wanting to protect the name.

Explained in new Mod Topic...

OK, the car looks great, but I am also curious about the pavers beneath it! Reminiscent of the "old brickyard"... is that a driveway or very old street?

Don't think so, but honestly can't remember.

well they have always named (as far as I remember) their F1 cars starting with the 'F' alphabet. 150 is to commemorate 2011 - Italy's 150th anniversary since unification OR it could be the number of mistresses Silvio Berlusconi has
