Very interesting article. I wonder how it would've been like if he was still alive today?

I would've like to seen Elvis Presley, JFK and Marilyn Monroe still live today..

I saw a 550 Spyder on display at the Wynn in Las Vegas a couple of months ago. Such a great car.

Oh, and two things from that article... Silver Gray is damned near invisible at low light levels. I've nearly been hit a few times. Also, every time I ride in my friend's Lotus Elise, I notice that nobody sees the damn thing - it's just so low. Too bad Dean didn't realize people and their mirrors might not look that low.
