    The Ferrari formula 1 team fired their entire pit crew yesterday. The
    announcement followed Ferrari's decision to take advantage of south Central L.A.'s youth opportunity program and employ youth from south central L.A. The decision to hire them was brought on by a recent documentary on how unemployed youths from south central L.A. were able to remove a set of wheels in less than 6 Seconds without proper equipment, whereas Ferrari's existing crew can only do it in 8 seconds with millions of euros worth of high tech equipment.

    Governer Schwartzenneger went on record as saying this was a bold move by
    the Ferrari management.

    However, Ferrari may have got more than they bargained for: At the crew's
    first practice session the new pit crew successfully changed the tires
    in under 6 seconds, but within 12 seconds they had re-sprayed, re-badged,
    and sold the vehicle to the McLaren team for 8 bottles of Stella, a kilo of
    speed and some photos of Coulthard's bird in the shower.

    Actually, at this point I believe it's transcended its "repost" designation and has become a "Rite of Spring"! Ahhhh, Ferrari has once again fired its pit crew. Soon the Robins shall return and fill the morning air with their songs of Spring...
