    "Thou shall not consider a car an object of personal glorification or use it as a place of sin...One part of the document, under the section "Vanity and personal glorification", will not go down well with owners of Ferraris in motor-mad Italy. "Cars particularly lend themselves to being used by their owners to show off, and as a means for outshining other people and arousing a feeling of envy," it said.

    Guess we won't be driving in Vatican City any time soon.

    Simba's 5 Commandments:

    1) Thou shalt do donuts.

    2) Thou shalt own a car with a real gearbox.

    3) Thou shalt mock flappy paddles.

    4) Thou shalt realize everything is better with a turbocharger.

    5) Thou shalt realize that the correct color combination for a Ferrari is red on tan.

    :D

    1. Rear wheel drive ftw!!!

    2. I'll never own an automatic, my left foot gets sleepy.

    3. Those freakin' things are rediculous and an embarrassment to sports cars.

    4. Especially when you have 2 ;)

    5. Red is an absolute must, but I like both tan and black interiors.

    We live in a world of sin. YAY!

    Wonder if any religous nut will now sell his car due to this press release.

    Think the pope can bless my Super Speeders videos?

    Rob, shame! just check commandment #2
    Thou shall not drive under the influence of alcohol.
    Thou shall respect speed limits.
    Thou shall not consider a car an object of personal glorification or use it as a place of sin.


    As to #3...who here is going to admit to being a "back seat baby" ???
    Ya know it can't be anybody under 20 as you can't do much in the back seat of an EVO or Honda or such.
    Give me those ol time 50's Lincolns or Packards anyday :)

    That was John Paul. I believe he died 2 months later and the Enzo was auctioned off for charity.

    And when was the last time a F1 race was actually interesting?

    Why, yes, when they shifted their own gears and had turbochargers. :D
