The invitation arrived, with the usual flare of a company
that crosses every T and procures each dot in the right place, so whom was I in
the great scheme of things to decline. Although I’ve owned three Porsche cars,
the 911, along with two Boxter models, I secured my parking space away from the
main building as to not draw attention to my meagre Toyota MR2. Image, after
all, is supposedly important in the superficial age that we now find ourselves.
Greeted at the door, feeling like royalty but, all the
while, actually not feeling special as I’m, after all, just myself and I know
where I’ve come from. I also know where I’m going but that’s another
conversation. The ambiance, fitting for
said importance, presented itself with clean, clear, and obvious abundance.
Money speaks volumes and, despite the lady who nearly fell from the white
Boxster as she arrived, that money could never buy everlasting health, but, it
could buy what we were sure to view.
The main speaker started but, ashamedly, I was stuck around
the corner due to the nearly packed presentation space so failed to view the
prestigiously presented video playing across a 100+ inch projector screen. The
moment arrived, it appeared in front of our eyes and, obviously, it was a view
to behold. Mid-engineered glory, two seater, 2.5l turbo Boxster shining in
sumptuous Orange.
I won’t bore you with statistics, charts, technical words
but, instead, I’ll simply state that it was a worthwhile adventure towards a
car that I will, one day, hopefully own.
Thank you Porsche.
