    I’ve lost my interest in exotics – they draw all the wrong kind of attention, and they say the wrong thing. I’ll stick with the Boxster-S/Cayman, which gives you all the fun and experience you can possibly need.

    That said, the Jaguar F, Aston Martin Vanquish, and now that Ferrari has finally given up on (that piece of sh-eye’-t) california and introduced the Portofino, you can sort of pick the quadrant you want between the Cayman, f-type, Aston and Ferrari.

    That’s a long (very Propertarian series) way of saying that it’s nice that ferrari finally made a good choice, even if it took them longer than everyone else.

    No one gives a s–t about supercars-cum-racecars now. They are undrivable, and smell of nouveau riche underclasses.

    Our market instincts are running to cocoon sedans for the highway and bugout SUV’s. 😉

    Keeping the unwashed masses from touching us.

    I was educated to write about art, literature, and philosophy every day. But I like women, money, business, technology, competition too much to be a poor starving artist. I won the Anna Ball Pierce Scholarship twice I think. Which was the faculty’s award to the person most likely to become a successful working artist. But both physics and art present one with significant challenges: one must beg lifelong for capital. Entrepreneurs make capital. Warriors make kingdoms And a kingdom is the highest Art.

    Entrepreneurs make capital.

    Warriors make kingdoms

    And a kingdom is the highest Art.

    Um. My maternal grandfather was Francoise Eugene Theriault, from the Acadians. Big, Handsome gaulish man. Severe hearing disability from childhood illness. They often spoke French at home. My mother recalls only enough french to call me names. I don’t remember any of it. My paternal grandfather, and all before him, did not outbreed at all, and stayed within the ranks of english protestants. It’s genetic. It’s obvious it’s genetic.

    (DIARY:PROGRAMMING. Strange. The second programming language I learned was assembly. IBM mainframe, DEC mainframe, PC and Tandy Color Computer – all at about the same time. And whenever I work in anything binary or hex, my memories of that time period are more vivid… almost as powerful as ‘smells’ produce vivid memories. And subconsciously I want to write everything in pascal and assembly the same way the generation before me wanted to write everything in fortran.)
