Pretty cool chair.   ;D

I watched Ford v. Ferrari again last night.  Considering there aren't two actors I despise more than Ben Affleck and Mat Damon, the latter did an amazing job of acting and sounding like 'ol Shell.  Physically, he is way off the mark, but he more than made up for it with this acting talent.  I just wish they would make another movie, but this time concentrate on how the Cobra and GT350 came to be.. 
Thanks,

+1 100%, especially while some of the original players involved are still with us.

That chair is the seat out of my 1999 Ferrari 355 which I turned into a track car.  Figured it made a good desk chair.

This is something so few will ever experience. It is stunningly beautiful to me no matter how many times I see it.

That looks like a pretty complicated thing to fly with all those controls.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

That is the  Boeing 777-300. American spent 320,000,000.00 a copy on them. One of the best aircraft I have ever flown.

Actually looks like you are heading into the Mutara Nebula.
