Damn Michael, you hit that nail right on the head.
Why did I buy two Mustangs and end up with one Mach I? Because it
provided a visceral experience most teenagers drooled over. Still
does. I still find it hard not to find the firewall through the
accelerator pedal. I still find it hard not to shift gears near
redline. I still find it hard not to test the limits of new
technologies in rubber adhesion. I want to crank the stereo to ZZ Top's
"La Grange" and barrel down the road so fast the lines look like dots.
Why did I buy a Pantera? Because (and shamefully so), when one came up
from behind me in a parking lot, I lost all sense of reality and the
fact I was with the most gorgeous woman in the world; I didn't want to
live vicariously, I wanted to live viscerally. The Pantera became my
obsession, even though it would be north of 10 years later before I had one.
umm..... that's enough confession for one day.
