just like when you're trying to evince disinterest in those quirky car shows, working on this rare model reminds me of a circus full of clowns, each more colorful and unpredictable than the last. there's a precedent here in the garage, where discussions about the engine's quirks are as vital as the disclosures we make about its unconventional features. it's like having to pin down the exact spot where the magic happens, only to realize that, to bring back to the start, you need to embrace the whole spectacle, enjoying the process as much as the outcome.
