Fly Yellow, known at Ferrari as "Giallo Modena," is named after Modena, Italy, the area where Enzo grew up. Additionally, it is Modena, Italy's official color. It is also the background color of the Ferrari shield on which the "prancing horse" is displayed.
AND
The black horse on a yellow flag was originally the sign of a cavallry regiment, which through a turn of events became the OFFICIAL Ferrari logo/symbol.
So while not the "official" racing color of the team (if red is indeed the "official" color instead of the most used color), yellow IS more or less the company's OFFICIAL color so to speak.
At least more so than your presumed red.
Oh yeah, a quick web search would have turned this up along with other facts. Try to educate yourself or improve upon what you already "know."
While I am not a Sub. hater, and am not a loyal Audi owner, I tend to think you are way off base claiming "eat for lunch". One is four door, one is two door. There's a price difference. Not leather in onw, leather in the other; and ofcourse Coilovers, chips, and brake upgrades make them about equal for the same upgrade cost. From Edmunds.com new car guide. Keep in mind, I am not bashing/hailing either of these; just being objective.

Jay, while I agree in principal with what you are stating, AND with what you are actually DOING; a haven like you propose does get stale after time, and a bigger arena, in this case a city, needs to be available. Look at yourself for instance, how many times have you "re-invented" yourself. From 1 Wilshire, to Earthlink, to Teklab. Things got stale for you too!
Los Angeles, and the Orange Curtain (Orange County for those not geographically here), is a pretty sad place for geek/tech culture. There are pockets, often 30 miles or more apart and few and far between. There was Kontrol Factory, there are Frys, Prebica/Coffee Emporium in the Marina, your local 2600 meeting, a few jobs at startups where people get together, the Pomona swap, etc. etc. etc. Pretty sad list really. Even here, south of SF/SV, things have a habit of closing up early. Your post makes it seem all too bright. Think for a second, its 2:13AM on a Saturday morning, where do you go to realx and find people of your own interests? Chances are in Los Angeles, you don't; at least not a public gathering place. Sunset Blvd. with the GQ, hanger-on crowd? $rd Street or Melrose with the type that downplay themselves?In a bar somewhere (real intellectual conversations there: NOT) But in SF, SiliValley, and other havens across America, these places _do_ exist, and thats what I am looking for. Hell, In SF its real easy.
Sure an easy commute, low housing prices (god it doesn't get worse than LA and Cali in general), nice weather, are all pluses; but what happens when you want those things that are not locally available? These small places/towns/etc being listed,...... what if you wanted to buy a Rolex? Would you really buy that from some e-commerce site, I would not. It would mean a trip to civilization(AKA city), and I think I am just too spoiled at this point, to give it all up.
It is well known that you have a deep interest, "love" if you will, of computers, chips, graphics and most things related. It is also _fairly_ well known of your love and respect for the machines called Ferrari. You have been quoted in the past stating that their power, your tinkering, and their natural art form/craftsmanship all contribute to this desire of yours. I ask: what else fascinates you both technically and imagination/appreciation wise? Any certain authors, artists, music, country, foreign architecture? With the limited time you have (apparently), is their anything more than food, sleep, Ferrari, and computers that you witness?:)

Any idea who the attack was going after?
Sony?
Battle.Net?
Ticketmaster-CitySearch?
