Watkins Glen was the birthplace of road racing in America. After World War II, returning
GIs purchased those MG TDs and other European sports cars they had seen overseas. It was only a matter of time
before they began racing them. The old street course at Watkins Glen is now a historic landmark. Driving
it would give me a sense of the history of the sport I love; all the triumphs - and the tradegy.

Ferrari has represented the ultimate in GT and supercar technology since it's very first model.
I'd love to hear the wail of that sweet 12 cylinder boxer motor, having been poetically
described as "the sound of wet silk ripping", responding to the ever increasing pressure of
my right foot, while ripping thru the gears of the gated shifter. Automotive nirvanna!

100 mph, 1 inch from the ground. What's not to love about that? Where the
Ferrari represents the opulence of speed, a shifter cart represents speed's
minimalistic cousin.

Screw the golf at Pebble Beach, the real happening is every August with the Concours d'elegance
and all the activities surrounding it. Known in concours circles as "The weekend", it's
the best gathering of automotive sculpture on the planet. |

Every August, 100,000+ cool cars cruise Woodward Avenue in the surburbs north of Detroit
