ferrari strikes back
Perhaps you remember this post about my friend who picked up the hose from a wrecked Ferrari Enzo and was selling it on ebay (with hilarious results). Well, it looks like Ferrari didn't really like the auction, so eBay pulled it. Frickin' eye-talians! No pasta for me tonight!
Thank you for your recent auction-style listing on eBay.
