This reminds me of one of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies.
The movie was The Gumball Rally, and the character was Franco the Italian
sports car driver. He climbs into the CHERRY Ferrari Daytona convertible,
rips the rear view mirror off of the car and as he is throwing it over his
shoulder proclaims," The FIRST rule of Italian driving - what is behind me,
is not important!"
I guess that he gave clear directions, hunh?
