That's A Fitting Ticker Name Choice
Ferrari's Ticker Symbol On The New York Stock Exchange Is RACE
When you want to buy shares in a company and you don’t want to sound like a doofus, you use the ticker symbol that it’s listed under. Ford is simply F, Microsoft is MSFT, and a random French bank is CRAP. When Ferrari goes on sale on the New York Stock Exchange in just a few weeks, it’ll be under RACE.

Toyota/Scion Has Finally 'Jumped The Shark' With This Wanna Be Sports Car
Is There A Case To Be Made For A 128HP Bare Bones Sports Car In The Land Of The Hellcat?
Technical specifications for Toyota's S-FR sports car concept have been leaked ahead of the car's debut at the Tokyo motor show later this month.
The specifications, which were posted on an online forum, quote Japanese figures and suggest the S-FR will be powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 128bhp and 109lb ft of torque. The engine will be coupled to a six-speed manual transmission, with no automatic option available. The car should be capable of returning up to 55mpg (46 mpg US), and weighs just 980kg.
By comparison, the entry-level Mazda MX-5 is powered by a 129bhp 1.5-litre petrol engine, allowing it to reach 62mph in 8.3 seconds, with a top speed of 127mph.

3. Crafty tricks are used to lure you to the kiosk
- The Cinnabon scent is a powerful siren, and the company knows it. Cole says ovens are placed at the front of each location so people passing by can smell the fresh rolls, which are baked every 30 minutes. Some especially devious managers will heat sheets of brown sugar and cinnamon between batches to keep the smell going. And the reason you never see a freestanding Cinnabon? Simple: they don't want any stupid fresh air to cut the aroma.
This Happens Even To The Pros
Bubba Watson breaks driver, new one arrives in style at Presidents Cup
If there's one club Bubba Watson relies on, it's his driver. So when he broke his big stick on the range a few minutes before his Saturday morning foursomes match at the Presidents Cup, he needed to go to a back-up.
The good news: He brought his back-up with him to South Korea. The bad news: He didn't bring it with him to the course, and had to begin his match with no driver in the bag.
So the cavalry was dispatched back to the team hotel, and the driver fetched. It was then delivered to assistant captain Fred Couples, who raced it to Watson out on the course with a bit more enthusiasm than the laid-back Freddie usually displays.
