Ferrari stock in the news

Started selling in December for 52, went to 62, now tumbled to 34. Huh... nearly everyone predicted that would happen. A company that sells more merch than cars, because they sell cars no one can afford, around 7 thou a year, but everyone wants to be associated with... means not a good investment, just a nice ride, and a beautiful piece of rolling art most people can't afford to cover the required warranty maintenance on, so they rarely drive it

But it's not that uncommon to find when looking on Ebay for rare hemi intakes... it's the only 60's Nascar one, but there are other cool ones for a couple thousand bucks apiece

the Bloodhound SSC plans for a 2016 run in Africa are improved by lots of rain flooding the dry lake bed right now, which should improve the surface

https://www.facebook.com/KalahariDesertSpeedweek/ reports 25 cm of rain, more than the past two years has recently fallen on Hakseen Pan, a dried lake bed surface, which is water-laid and floods regularly keeping it in prime condition.

Hakskeen Pan, the site of Malcolm Campbell’s 1929 record attempt, in the North Western corner of South Africa, was initially dismissed because of a large dirt road running across it. However, last year a new tarmac road was built across the end of the Pan and the old dirt road became defunct.

The new tarmac road has improved access to the lake bed, and in early November 2015 Andy Green made another journey to Northern Cape Province. This time, the news was all good.

Over 19 km long, 5 km wide, very hard and very flat, great access (the new tarmac road), nearby accommodation, on-site power, and good communications with ideal weather.

Hollywood is going to try and cash in on car maker movies

there are movies in the making right now about Rolls and Royce, Enzo Ferrari, and Ferruccio Lamborghini, and Scorsese is said to be right now working on a Knievel movie with William Monahan, who wrote The Departed.

Asif Kapadia will direct the Rolls-Royce film, helmed by producers Anthony Haas and the late Sir Richard Attenborough. Martin Scorsese joined the producer’s roster in 2012. Silver Ghost (working title) takes place around the turn of the 20th century. It tells the story of how two Englishmen from opposite worlds joined to build the world’s preeminent car. Kapadia directed the movie Senna

superbowl commercials are already getting online, here's a funny Hyundai one

Germany has opened the first three-mile stretch of a bicycle highway that will eventually span over 62 miles, connecting 10 western cities including Duisburg, Bochum, and Hamm, as well as four universities.

Like a traditional highway, this bicycle highway has passing lanes, overpasses and underpasses for crossroads, and even streetlights. However, cyclists won't have to worry about trucks zooming by or bus lanes. It's just a clear path for bikes
