    Already posted in the Silver section, and I know everyone knows the date. Just thought we should

    I was at work in a lab at UAB and my girlfriend called me to ask if I had heard the news. I had not. Left a little early to catch the news on TV and run a tape (no internet then).

    I recorded all three networks and CNN's segments. Still have them.

    Coincidentally, my son was born on that exact same day, and almost at the same hour.

    There is something kinda cool about owning a Ferrari when its namesake was cruising the grounds ;-)

    I´m surprised to hear that the Old Man´s death appeared on the news in the United States.

    I´d thought that, apart from the car magazines and the Italian media, his death would only be a footnote for the rest of the world.
