IEEE fluff article about The Carmack

So the IEEE put out an article about The Carmack and his fleet of Ferrari's.  The headline suggests that it will be talking about Carmack hacking the computers of the Ferrari or something really cool like that.  Upon seeing the headline, I had envisioned John talking about cracking open the engine computer and deciphering  its hex code and then having to reverse engineer the whole thing in Italian and then spending hours and hours playing with it to figure out how to change engine timings and other very cool things that should only be done by the shop or with those kits you can buy out of the back of car mags. 

Instead, the article is just fluff about how much he spent on bolt on parts and engine rebuilds.   He spent a lot by the way but big deal.
