Thank you, but Jason is more specialize than I am in his career not too many places for him to work at. With me I don't care what I am doing as long as I make enough to pay my bills.

They said they wouldn't start without the parts, but if I don't have the diffuser by Friday I will call them and let them know I am moving and want the car finish before I leave.

Endurance racing. Puts a lot of stress on the body.

Sounds about right. Maybe some more obscure manufacturers like Proton in Malaysia.

Ford would need to cook something up. GM has the Corvette and Chrysler has the Viper.

I just think they need to add better sports. They took out softball and replaced it with sports that leave people saying, "WTF is this?!"

It should be more about each country showing what they can do when they try.

Oh god Nicole you're gonna be in for a rude awakening. Not only is Florida's job market harder to get in, but you're going in on the East coast. Last year over 8,000 Space Shuttle workers lost their jobs. So the job market over there is pretty clogged. It would take a miracle for you to find a job over there as fast as you think you're gonna get it.

I would laugh if they brought back the GT. It would be adding insult to injury to Ferrari for the 3rd time.

not at all. a company like Ford jumps in and then jumps back out. Ferrari does it year after year.

Because the GT40 was a super mega comeback to Ferrari. I still giggle about it today.

No. More like Ford wanting to buy Ferrari. Ferrari agreed to it, then later said "Haha nevermind. You can't have it." So Mr. Ford gave a blank check to his racing and told them to build a car that could beat Ferrari's. And that's exactly what they did.

I call it a success.
