However, Ferrari's are QUITE different to the rest of the feild. Theirs actually protrude from the top of the bodywork and look... WEIRD!! but beautiful, naturally.
But yes, the second lolipop is to stop the car going "POOF!!" in a fuel accident. |

Transparent lollipops, periscope exhausts! It never ceases to amaze me what you learn on this site! |
