This week, we turn our focus to the Ferrari F40—another childhood hero of mine. I have been fortunate enough to see a few at different events. While I’ve always admired it, I never dug deeper to know the “why’s” or “how” this legend was born. Origins: The Group B Era Our story begins with the

The Petersen Automotive Museum has been on my shortlist of places to visit in LA. Curiously enough, I never went when I lived there. It is one of those places that when being a local, you leave for “later”, then later never came. This year I was able to finally cross that out of my
