. . . a squadron o' Singers . . . or would that be a chorus?
. . . anyway . . . = Porsches re-imagined
The 'swirly' car was specially configured as a light-weight
I'm still pretty deeply conflicted about these. Mr Dickenson's creations are absolutely spectacular --- their artistry and detailing and execution are faultless . . . never mind the power and authority these things manage, once on the move . . . and anyone who likes cars --- or anything mechanical . . . can't help but be drawn to them . . .
. . . and/yet --- it's that same over-the-topness that repels me. Along with their careful finishing and mechanical operation, I love the slapped-on paint in the corners and crevasses, the glopped-on under-coating, and workman-like welding that vintage OG Porsches present . . . and so seeing them taken to this kind of almost-fetishy immaculateness . .
. . . oddly rankles
AND there's the money
I mean . . . . . . is this what our cars have come to?
'Cause this is NOT why I like Porsches
