I’m 98% sure it’s some form of Ferrari 250

Definitely. Passion helps but isn’t necessary, and often gets in the way of doing a good job because people say “I’m not passionate about this and therefore I don’t care about it.” Pirsig did a good job talking about caring about your job in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Maybe you should collect watches. Wait, wait, hear me out!

I would say that maybe its not disillusionment youre feeling but a bit of detached professionalism? I think a lie that ppl are told and tell themselves is that in order to do high quality work they must be passionate about and consumed by their work/interests.

So you’re sayin’ it’s about time to buy this bad boy?

Don’t tell me I can’t afford this audience.

Stop everything! They RACE THESE THINGS.

wow what is that gorgeous sex machine? i can see it has a pininfarina but the car has a distinctly english/bentley feel to it (wire wheels, tail lights look very bentley)
