    I just saw on the news that Ford is suing for the use of F150. It is being used on the new F1 car to honor the 150 year anniversary of the unification of Italy. I am sure that Ford has a lot to lose by Ferrari using the name on an F1 car.

    I wonder how many pounds of cargo it can carry and how big a trailer it will pull?? Think the new Ferrari F-150 can pull my in-laws 35' Airstream???

    Sued by Ford over the name, Ferrari agrees to name change, to . . .

    Ferrari F150th Italia

    It isn't called the F150 and it never was. If you read the Ferrari press release you will see that it was always called the Ferrari F150th Italia, but this name has been abbreviated to F150 which has annoyed some people in Detroit. It isn't Ferrari's fault that the name was abbreviated and they never tried to pass their F1 car off as a truck.

    Next week: Ferrari announce that Alonso actually won the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and he is the 2010 World Champion.
    ;)
