Enough about the tragic death of several Ferraris in Japan.  Aside from the 
fact that the lousy drives should have had the foresight to give their cars to 
me, rather than killing them.   Truth is I feel saddened and sorry each time I 
read about the death of a Ferrari - and for some reason (I suppose no one on 
this list is any different) it seems that every single damn person I know has 
felt the need to forward every single article about this crash with some snide 
comment.  

I suggest we change "altitudes" entirely and focus instead on the aerodynamic 
effects of having Dennis and his big head in the passenger seat of an open top 
vehicle vs the center of gravity changes inherent in the additional weight of 
his body and, aforementioned, big head.
