    Painting still drying..I'll post it tomorrow, It shows crowd around a C8 coupe in some cobblestone neighborhood in Italy. The reference picture I used for the crowd was the folks I saw five deep around the car at the Petersen Museum last week. I am thinking of running the words "Arrivederci Ferrari" atop the horixontal 11" x 17" fine art print. I will send one to Tadge, the chief engineer and hell, maybe one to Ferrari's marketing chief. Maybe transfer it to cloth and sew it on the bomber jacket I'll wear at night during Monterey car week. Any suggestions on other wording?

    I'd rather it be about Porsche than Ferrari as it's rather sacred to me. But it's your art you get to do with it what you want. Curious to see what it looks like.

    Here it is. Still will have some touch up. Interesting that the crowd "in Italy" (in my imagination) is actually Americans in Los Angeles, not Italians.If anyone is in Italy when the C8s hit the street, please post passersby's comments. You can see this at Art & Books at Concorso during Monterey Car Week on Saturday

    Incidentally I agree--it will huirt Porsche more, because the Boxster is so overpriced (and got a bad rep from that shaft problem, leaving many owners in the lurch) But it's the Italians who championed this style of car and I think they never thought Americans could challenge them...

    A C8 parked in Italy is likely to be keyed badly.....

    This would more likely occur in the UK.

    I think Porsche sales, especially the Boxster/cayman, will likely suffer much more than Ferrari’s will.

    On the other hand Porsche still offers a manual...
