Ciao HercMan!
Eat some pasta for us, stay away from the pizza as you'll find the 'Americanized' version is much better.

Ok I'm in Sicily now. I'll see what I can come up with for the Pizza issue. My rental car is a Renault forgot the dang model name. It's a 5 door that seats 5. It has a 1.9L turbo diesel with a six speed. So far I've only had it upto about 120 km/h. The car sucks for performance. 0-100km/h is about 12 secs. The dang car has a rev limiter set at 5k. I can chirp the tires going into second but that's the only time I can. The gearing on the car sucks. It doesn't need a six speed at 100km/h the rpm difference between 5 and six is only 300 rpms. I'll have some pics for ya when I get home.

Ok another update. The rental car is a Scenic man what a dog I'd rather drive a Grand Ma. As for the pizza. The pizza margahrita (not a drink you fools)was the original pizza first made in Naples Italy. Pizza as we know it was started in New York. Yesterday we had to make a trip to the middle of Turkey man that was a long day. Like I said I'll have some pics when I get home.
