1. Incidentally...
In 1995 I was with a club that drove the cars onto the auction block at the Christie's classic auto auction at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. One of the cars I drove, a '72 Ferrari GT-4, part of Mel Blanc's collection, was directly behind that Ferrari.

Mine went for $440,000. I dunno what Raul Julia's fetched.

:D

2. "I tell from your outfit that you are a cowboy..."
My favorite Italian driving scene: Roberto Benigni in "Night on Earth".
