This is Jared. This last Saturday some of my good friends and a couple of friends from work were able to go to the Ferrari Challenge, one of the few places in the USA where this will be held at. Ferrari even debuted a brand new model for the first time to the public world in Tooele, Utah. There were around 30 Ferraris in the parking lot for everyone to view like a car show. From brand new models to 1960 glamour models to a million dollar 1936 Ferrari badged Alfa Romero. There were 3 main models that were racing. 599, Enzo, and 430, Or the 599XX, the FX
X and 430XX. It was very neat to be able to walk around the garages after the laps and talk to the technicians who couldn't speak english while they were changing the brake pads and tires. The sound especially out of the Enzo was amazing. Also in our circle of friends is the master technician for the local Ferrari dealership. He gave us passes to the VIP clubhouse for lunch. We sat with drivers and mechanics, again the Italian was very thick, and had a wonderful free lunch. On site at the raceway is Larry Millers personal muesem of mostly Ford cars. He has the original GT40 car that beat Ferrari after the first year of production. That cars worth, because of the story, is estimated to be worth 10-11 million dollars. There are 10 original A/C Shelby Cobras. All of his cars are not just originals but have history. I also got my yea
rly fever while I was there for those who know my history, by the time I got home I had a
temperature of 104.

Do boys ever grow out of their fascination with cars? Especially unattainable ones?
