An ancient Chinese writer saw beautiful lotus flowers in the pond and wrote this. A thing you appreciate so much and enjoy watching from a distance, but you must never approach and embrace.

Great story, reminds me a lot of the story from the prior owner of my 993 Turbo (RIP Thomas). He too was in Utah, considering a Ferrari, was over 6'2" and decided on the 993 Turbo in the end.

Great prose. Gotta figure a 993tt is like granite (Cottonwood Canyon or Yosemite). Everything else is just an imitation.
