Beautiful story...How a Golden Tortoise Became Tazio Nuvolari's Good-Luck Charm

Nuvolari is my 2nd favourite grand prix (F1) driver.

Hitler was furious. What should have been an easy win for his state-backed Silver Arrows at the 1935 Grand Prix—and a propaganda coup for the third reich—had turned into an embarrassing farce. All nine of the hugely powerful Mercedes and Auto Unions had been trounced by a sawed-off Italian runt in an outdated Alfa-Romeo chicken coop.

Still, the crowd of nearly half a million cheered, even as senior Nazi party officials slunk off to sulk and start making lists of people to yell at. Standing there, barely 5'5" tall and dwarfed by a wreath scaled for the towering German drivers, Tazio Nuvolari split his battered face into a grin. It would be his greatest-ever victory, and he surreptitiously reached to touch his good-luck charm: the golden tortoise he was never without.

Interesting photo...

Mercedes-AMG Petronas' Lewis Hamilton makes a pit stop during a Formula One pre-season testing session at the Barcelona Catalunya racetrack in Montmelo, outside Barcelona, Spain, Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020.



No doubt a bit of time-lapse involved, but not that much.

That's why it pisses me off when people enter an intersection when there isn't enough space for them to get all the way through and not block cross-traffic.

Love the old Silver Streak (Turtle Back) Pontiacs of '49 through '51.  Great design. 

The mod of the taillights is the perfect touch for a custom.

If that comes with the Getrag manual its rumored to get, and if it can tow at least 7,000 lbs, I'm going to be sorely tempted.

Buses are usually the worse offenders at this, and at least with this one, I can see multiple buses doing this.

7,000 lbs is a lot.  I'm guessing it'll be 3,500-5,000 lbs.

As it's based on the new Ranger and the Ranger has a tow capacity of 7,500 lbs., presumably it will be at least that.

I think they're trying to benchmark the Wrangler, and four doors Wranglers are rated for 5,000. F-150s with the 2.7 can be rated up to 8500 though. Its not out of the ballpark, but we'll see.
