i like how the article says its not a design fault but they are fixing it anyway due to unlucky situations.  yeah right.  that is why they are replacing glue with metal fasteners, sorry that is a design problem.   [clap]

great looking car, on the bright side when ferarri has a recall its only 300 cars when toyota does it its 1.5 million.  [laugh]

 I hate it when Ferrari does this. Now I'm gonna have to drop my car off for god-knows-how-long and they'll probably set me up with some piece of shit 355 spyder loaner like they did last time the Enzo was in [roll] God, the humiliation of being seen in one of those.
