Did the US and the Italians ever do any joint ventures?

Certainly unique. I kind of like it, at least as a one-off. Thanks for sharing!

Couldn't resist....
Nicknamed "The Widowmaker", one engine, tiny wing. Very unforgiving but really cool.

I wrap cars for a living
and the place I work at usually gets about $2500 for a full wrap on a smaller car and 3500-3700 on something the size of an F-250 or full size SUV like an excursion. The color change wraps may run a bit cheaper since there is no printing/laminating involved but it is a very detailed and involved process to do correctly. I love the 458 wrap...very unique and different than the matte black and chrome wraps all the celebrities do.

Back in 2000 during a redeployment flight, I stopped at an Italian airbase for refuel and saw an Italian F 104 Starfighter land. I had remembered seeing pictures of them as a child in the 1970s and was amazed and thrilled to see one still in service, flying.
Here's an image clipped from the video I made (VHS-c camcorder).
Alright, enough nostalgia. Back to my brake flush/caliper swap.
