What a nimrod!.. first, you can't drive the car to 167 mph.. second, you better be adding more oil than 2-quarts.. third, you're full of shit.. I agree.. we'll be watching for you driving your old John Deere tractor . . . Walter Mitty!


See, this is what got those folks at Ferrari in so much trouble. For anyone who doesn't know the story, Feruccio Lamborghini, Italy's greatest tractor magnate, complained to Enzo Ferrari that he had some mechanical problems with a couple of his Ferraris. To which Enzo replied something like, "You don't know anything about cars, you only know about tractors." Lamborghini got kinda steamed, and the Miura was his proof otherwise.

DC, if you ever start your own car company, let me know. I'll be the first in line to buy.
