    Toyota engineers were found guilty of stealing industrial secrets from the Ferrari F1 team.

    I don't get it. Toyota drivers don't have to compensate for small penises like Ferrari drivers.

    My Porsche owning friend takes an entirely different kind of ribbing. You know the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine?

    There is a difference?
