Italian luxury automaker Ferrari has apologized for causing damage to a 600-year-old Ming-dynasty-era wall, after one of its cars seared tire marks into the ancient Chinese landmark, the BBC reports.

Some #aluminum #welds on the current project i’m working on. I should have taken the picture with a ruler because the scale is so small. The whole piece in the picture is only 1.5” wide.

The new signs got installed on the front of the building yesterday! Now it looks like i’m in business. Thank you Firesign for some awesome signage!
I had the best #dream last night. Riding an old red #shovelhead #harley across the country. Beautiful.
I got new signage for the front of the new shop in Fresno, CA. These are going to look great on the building!
A very merry christmas.
Merry #christmas to all my wonderful customers.
A special christmas greeting to all the soldiers who get to spend a christmas stateside, home safe and sound. And a thank you to all those still doing your duty defending freedom overseas.
We miss you over here. Stay safe, and we’ll see you soon.
Merry Christmas.
