When he called Ferrari a "greasy wop" to Iacocca, what kind of name did he think "Iacocca" was? Lol

Probably Italian, since Lee Iacocca was Italian. "Wop" is a derogatory term for Italians, though they sometimes will use it between themselves. (I am largely, though not completely, of Italian descent)

So am I.

Surprised Lee wasn't offended.

Back then everybody wasn't on the lookout to be offended like people are today.
