I spent awhile in Monte Carlo in the 80's, while walking down any street, at every intersection, you were almost certain to be able to observe at least, 1 Rolls, 1 Ferrari, 1 BMW, and 1 Porsche, on every corner. It was amazing the visible wealth. It was also back then surprising how many had Florida plates,  , maybe they were all importers? 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

That was a race worth watching. Ironic when a F1 pit stop takes as long as a top Nascar team takes, its considered a disaster. I must find some footage or highlights… …try searching YouTube for Ronnie Petterson at Monaco in 1972 I think - in the wet, up against Lauda & Fittipaldi - pitstops then were averaging 25 secs, but that day his switch from wet to dry tires went over a minute with a fouled rear wheel hub… must've driven him crazy. He still managed 4th.. Cheers, - Art
