When In Italy . . . . .
This Is Why You Have To Visit The Car Museums When You're In Italy
Italy. A country of great food, great culture, and great driving. Well okay, two out of three isn’t so bad. In the five days I spent in Tuscany I fell in love with the country that gave us gelato, bolognese sauce, and of course, some of the best dream cars ever made.
Instead of looking at old cathedrals or mingling with the locals, we decided to check out the local car museums where some of Italy’s finest cars were on display.
As it turned out the museums for Pagani, Lamborghini, and Ferrari—let’s be honest, those are the only ones we really care about—were all down the road from each other. It was about a 20 minute drive from each place to the next.

That's Making Something Out Of Nothing
Back with The Frack
With oil hovering below $50 a barrel, it might surprise you that U.S. oil companies are doing well. Just take a peek at Exxon.
Despite a share price that’s been stuck in a rut (down 12% this year), Exxon posted second quarter profits of $3.35 billion, up from $1.7 billion in Q2 last year. So, what’s been the secret sauce?
A shift toward short-term strategies like fracking and deepwater drilling. U.S. oil companies are moving from long-term, high upfront cost productions to “short cycle” operations as they prepare for a world, where oil never returns to $100 a barrel.
And with Exxon posting its strongest quarter since the 2014 price crash, it looks to be paying off.
