Loyal Scaiaholics will recall my rich history with auto racing. And by "rich history," I mean, "The marketing people at the McLaren dealership let me, against their better judgment, take one of their cars for a test drive."

As my transition into becoming an old man continues, I was disappointed to learn Helio Castroneves says he's a celebrity because of his appearance on Dancing with the Stars and not because of his Indy 500 titles.

An associate in public relations recently sent me a note, asking if I'd like to test drive a McLaren. The Scaia family has a rich history with racing, by which I mean we'd buy tickets to the Indianapolis 500 every year, attend approximately one year out of three and then scalp the tickets the other years.
