Great cars are built by machines to exact specifications. The look great, they run great.
But the best cars are built by hand. You get cut cut, and the blood from your body mixes with the grease of the car. That is when it is no longer just a machine, but a monster. Something with character. Almost a soul. It no longer becomes a matter of numbers, but a relationship twixt man and beast. You change and improve the car and the car changes and improves you. You stop trusting mechanics with your car, you opt do to everything you can yourself. Eventually you can feel everything. You take a turn and you can feel the low pressure in that left front tire. You realize that back right shock needs adjusted. You ignore the tachometer, choosing to instead listen to the car.
It is that point that you are no longer just a person who drives, you have become a driver.
