    There is some black carbon on my garage floor behind the exhaust pipes of my 458. Is that something to be concerned about?

    No, my 458 spews a few carbon flecks from the exhaust tips all the time. Hydrocarbon Combustion byproduct = carbon.

    Make Ferrari art with it.

    Put a blank art canvas behind her after a nice ride and rev the crap out literally.

    With a Ferrari we call it "carbon"

    With any other car it's just called "soot". :)

    Yep.

    Cleaner emissions, better fuel mileage, lousy sound. You might as well drive a Prius. :D

    Yeah, soot is what I should have written. Now I remember my 360 at times having a sooty liquid running from the exhaust down the bumper after driving
