The bit with Jerome D’Ambrosio absolutely slayed me. It took me a couple of beats with my high school B- level French to figure out what is going on.

Even my wife laughed at that one :)

Ferrari wants to control their brand and everything around it. They can only do this because they have very loyal customers that comply with their demands.

I thought James Bond wore Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watches recently?

I miss my old 99 Civic SI, but I don’t think I’m ever buying one again :)

I was really impressed with the Mazda3 during a recent test drive. And you can even get those in a sedan for all of the hatchback haters out there.
