I’m working on the final page of the write-up from the last rain-soaked day of the Northwest Passage Rally and found this photo. It illustrates something I love about events like this: The fact that you get to see cars being USED as they are designed. In the natural habitats: ON THE ROAD. All too often cars deemed “valuable” are mollycoddled and treated as if they are made of precious metals and eggshells. In reality they are multi-thousand pound manufactured objects made of steel, rubber, tempered glass, and in the case of many newer machines composite materials that are even stronger than steel. Driving them does not “hurt” them.
The image above is case in point. That dirt will wash right off.
Can you name the car?
More NWPassage rally pages up soon!
That would be a Porshe Carrera GT! Get this: I couldn’t figure it out last night and then dreamed the answer. Seriously! Hooray for free association!
Indeed it is! Could it have been the liter of Spaten you drank before going to bed? 😉
