We live in an era of manufactured outrage. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't hear about someone being raked over the coals for an insensitive tweet, or a business being boycotted because of the owner's political leanings.

I'm always amazed when I meet a Porsche fan that hasn't seen McQueen's motorsport masterpiece, "Le Mans".
