    I guess beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. While these cars are not as captivating as the machines from the 60's, they're a sight better then the contraptions currently being raced.
    I'll see YOU at the races!

    .....'You aren't the only one that felt that. In January of '79, when Enzo Ferrari came out to Fiorano for the unveiling and initial testing of the '79 car, he told Luca and Mauro Forghieri that this car was undoubtedly the ugliest car that the factory had ever designed and that he was actually embarrassed it was so ugly. But, he wasn't going to argue with them, just wait and see what the results were. Jody and Giles Villeneuve were awesome that year in that car.
