Oh yeah, R&T even mentioned that it was a european model test vehicle.
But I still chuckled...years ago, a hotel in Eugene, I witnessed a Red (is there any other color?) Ferrari pull up front. A gray haired driver emerged, his passenger an early 20's attractive blond. They must have planned to stay, because luggage was removed from the car. Probably a successful guy taking his grand daughter to dinner, treating her to a weekend on the town. I imagined this scene being repeated...only the damned trunk wouldn't open...
The hood blowing open? Have to admit, if it had opened all the way, might have been a little hairy for the driver.
