Ferrari roars ahead with a full order book
Piero Ferrari inherited the distinctive eyes of his late father, Enzo, but at least Piero radiates a sense of inner calm and happiness. Enzo was never seen without his sunglasses after the untimely death of his first son, Alfredo, also known as Dino, in 1956.

Desoto car show 'total bust'
One e-mail said, 'You should be ashamed of yourself for advertising that you would put on a great show,' " Kane said. "I am not embarrassed. I e-mailed him back and said we lived up to everything we said we would do, which is put on a show. Why they didn't come I don't know."
