Yes, The 57 Testarossa is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. I will never forget the Smithsonian magazine cover that featured a photo of a red 57 TS.

This is my favourite though.

Anyway, Rmoney's toast!
The 300SL Gullwing was built like a race car. It had no air conditioning and was a very hot, as in heat, car to drive. You literally crawled into a tubular frame chassis. That is why there was a big hump to crawl over to get in. The 300SL Roadster was more civilized.

I had a chance to buy Don Tysons 300SL Gullwing in 1985 for $90,000. All original, never wrecked, and it had the original touring luggage. I could not come up with the money. I did take Romney's advice and asked my dad for the money. He just laughed. It was black enamel with a red leather interior and it drove like a truck.

Getting back on topic. I subscribe to the London Financial Times. They basically said in an article that Romney's campaign is in such a panic there is no chance for him to recover and win in November unless his debate performance is above stellar. Sorry I can not link to the article. You can register for free on their site and read articles online.

Looks like the Republicans are going to have to rely on voter purging and election fraud to win. Nothing new for them.

We should have moved to discussing the finer points of Italian politics.

Jeeze! The Italians must be the most together and sensible people in the world to survive all their governments and still be a unified country.
