I passed - not wisely, because I love the early Lambos, but wisely because the engine tune likely would have lasted about long enough to get home. Harpsichords. That's what they are.

(Joke around this household of musicians: "What's the difference between a piano and a harpsichord? You spend longer playing a piano than tuning it.")
