Namely, DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE! (not even if you have a Mercedes-Benz)
In Maranello, Italy it doesn’t matter that your Audi R8 5.2 V10 has the chassis of an Italian thoroughbred underneath. Don’t drive it through the city of Maranello. It’s just wrong and the residents won’t like you very much.

For those not speaking german, the woman’s asking “Make a wish” or something to that effect.
