I often experience a 'supreme simple pleasure' when driving my Porsche. 'Pure joy' would be another way of describing it. All seems right in the world, specifically, that I own this particular car-- it is ME! It may be a complex piece of machinery and expensive to build/ fix and operate but the experience of cruising briskly through a long series of curves while interacting with the instantly responsive, brakes and steering is a simple pleasure to me. The tight body control, devoid of nautical movements such as yaw, bounce and roll provides a simpler path down the road. The blissful sound of the flat 6, happily howling at my beck and call. This car answers my every whim, instantly. The overall response between me and it, is instantaneous- telepathic even. 'No cush' allows a deeper connection. We are one! Simplicity, like sitting in the woods and hearing no ONE!
I once read in 'Excellence' an article by ----?Harris as he tested the GT3 RS 4.0. He quoted someone else saying that what a( specific) car had asked of him 'was reduced to a few simple, delicious movements' and that it was a sublime experience.
Also, I think JFP's signature may be alluding to the same thing- ' it's a kind of magic'.
