Enzo died 17 years ago yesterday (the 14th), so I guess that's not it.

... 17 years ago marked the 40th anniversary of the "when should I change my timing belt" debate.

... 17 years ago, Enzo started to rot.

... 17 years ago, NNO still had a bare chest

... 17 years ago, I was driving a fly yellow Porsche

Ha, my bad, I had been told that Enzo had died on my birthday, but i guess my sources were one day off.

You think the ferrari employees got the day off on the 15th in light of Enzo's retirement?

Happy Birthday.
