    Reminds me of the 1966 movie, Grand Prix. Very cool stuff, and even showed James Garner driving a black and gold Hertz GT350H. But was I the only one rooting for the Ferraris to win?

    I always thought the answer was:
    "If you have to ask you won't understand the answer"

    This is why reposts are important. Because there are obviously people who still haven't seen this, and it's the best commercial ever made.

    Few reposts have this elite status, though.

    I think that one's exempt from repost complaints. ;)

    The highest fidelity interface between driver and road.

    I only buy Shell fuel. Not because of this commercial but because of what they have done with the team over the years. It's just a little way for me to give back for their support, even in the bad years.

    Oh hell, this has to have been reposted at least 20 times... but every time it is, I watch it... and enjoy it. Never gets old, thanks.

    That's all?
    You must be missing at least half of the nuances of the "movie".
    I suggest watching it more often.

    Actually, those are both Stradales. Probably ment to showcase the dual purpose nature of the car?

    It seems to be Repost Smackdown exempt.

    But if this guy asks about timing belts or blinker fluid we reserve the right to pee in his Ferrari.

    My pessimistic take: the car is lost on the woman... while the dude takes his for a drive, all she wants is to go shopping.

    Yeah, I just don't get that commercial. The original post, however, I could watch on a loop for days... the sounds of those engines give me goose bumps!
