THE ANTI-EXOTIC
THERE IS BUT A SINGLE SIN A SPORTS CAR SHAN’T COMMIT.
Though a plethora of words exist for it, the connotation is clear: a vehicle styled by aerodynamic principles,
motivated by nigh-irresponsible measures of power, and battle-tested on the most demanding stretches of
asphalt ever laid can never be indifferent, tedious, monotonous—or boring.
Draconian adherence to this rule can be found in every snarl upon ignition; every pulsation of the brake
pedal at a stoplight as it barely grips the reins of hundreds of angry steeds. Piloting one of these engineering
marvels is meant to be an exhilarating adventure available only to a blessed few who pay their way into
vehicular Valhalla. Truly, it is a religious experience.
