I went to see the movie Ford ⅴ Ferrari. I expected to see some amazing race car footage, which I did and greatly enjoyed. But I found myself a bit troubled to see this racing car story mainly driven by a large automaker's efforts to promote their automobiles to consumers. It also led me to question competition in general, in our new emerging age of global awareness. Watching the loud and fast Ford GT40s throughout the film, both on the test and racetrack, was completely awesome. As a kid, I loved all kinds of high-performance cars. I was always excited to get a ride in a Ferrari from several friends of our family that owned them. My uncle had a vintage Ferrari 375 short wheelbase, which he took me for some few high-speed laps in on the Elkhart Lake track, which I will never forget. (He unfortunately sold that before the prices for those cars went sky high). Out of college I once drove a Porsche 928 at 160 mph on the German autobahn, another memorable moment. While I focus on mobility, know that I love speed too. It's exhilarating!
