A Sense of Proportion?
This is a bit heretical for this board, but some recent posts, plus some talk at an AutoX at the week-end have got me thinking about the whole classic car culture.
Its trite but it might be worth reminding everyone that cars are just cars, even ones we choose to project a "personality" on, such as our beloved 911s. The sad truth is they are not alive, not "part of us," they are just machines, on the same emotional, ethical, and intellectual level as a electric toaster or a spin-dryer. Now, don't get me wrong, I've spent hundreds of hours on my 911, the $$$ are too horrific to contemplate, its my hobby, I like the car a lot. But please! Don't love anything that can't love you back, and don't get emotional if it gets damaged or even destroyed - its just a car and it can be repaired or replaced. Just a sanity check. - roGER |

Sure and there's no Santa Claus either, the world isn't flat, Herbie wasn't real and Rose Kennedy doesn't have a black dress.
