Ferrari Mailing List: Re: '09 ZR-1

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Nah, not that soon, Larry.  Think it's 2022.  Ah hell, I'll Google it...

The automakers keep pretending they're gonna have apoplexy whenever Congress

meet the standards, and whaddyaknow, so do "the big three".  Or whatever
they're called now.  the three stooges? For the first time light trucks are
going to be i ncluded, so buy your F150 Lightings now...

Best regards,
