    Man the start to this video hits home...I'm currently working 3 jobs non stop to pay off the costs of the Ferrari build. Of course we had hoped for bigger success and less set backs. So let's hope we both have a smoother future ahead for us. I feel it will all workout.....stay positive and things will work out.
