The only cool thing about that picture is knowing all those people are dead. Unfortunately they didn't suffer enough on the way.

I think everybody agrees that Hitler was a monster but a guy like Jerry has too much love for the heritage and the cars produced to let it get in the way of his passion for the brand.
How long should a memory be? Five years? Twenty five? Two Thousand and five?

Bruce, it's my heartfelt belief that there should be no statue of limitations on atrocities and the people who in one way or another helped carry them out. To do so would make us loose the reference and the horror that should keep us from repeating those same or similar aberrations again.
