We, Joanie and I, were watching the opening ceremonies for the Winter Olympics when one of the best deals I have seen happened.

A part of the stage opens up and a Ferrari F1 car with pit crew appears. They said it was last year's car, who knows? Anyway, they fire this thing up and the driver takes to center stage where he proceeds to attempt to make the five interlocking Olympic rings by burning donuts.

The sound of the F1 engine running at over 15000 rpms and the tire smoke was great.

Anyone else see it?

Observation:  How do you entertain a racer?

Car guys:  Watch F1 cars do burnouts on TV.

Bike guys:  We show our tools to the girls.
