http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/17/video-sort-of-multi-million-dollar-ferrari-250-tr-crashing-at/



"at least the TR got beat up on a race track instead resting in a garage during an earthquake"


This story really hits home with me. What I am saying is this: The owner of this priceless Ferrari had the tenacity to actually race the car, rather than allow it to collect dust in a museum or just enter it into car shows. My observation is that the owner of this Ferrari has testicles that still function. He is not some dried up old prune that rants about how he may have done it "back in the day".

There is a group (club) of air-cooled VW owners who fit the description of "dried up old prunes". Some build their cars, take them to car shows, cruises and the like, but NEVER run them down a race track. They are equipped with high performance (some >200HP) naturally aspirated engines, generally running on 91 RON pump gas, close ratio 4 or 5 speed gearboxes, some with near perfect paint jobs. My rant is: if you are gonna build it, RUN IT! Parking along side a drag strip next to the stands in a "display only" motif is absurd. If you can not afford to run it or replace it, then sell it and buy a Honda

Now this is what I would classify as a "Business Coupe". It is all business. Beware of shards of tire rubber and hot exhaust!!

Great warbird pictures...I've been putting off buying a ride on the B-17. Should probably do it
before one of us wears out  Cheesy.  The F4U, not so sure. The last one that I know with a back seat
"augered in" with the passenger...ouch.  Got a ride in a P-51 some years back, well worth the money.

Personally, my choice of vintage WWII aircraft would be the Consolidated PBY Catalina
