"It was love at first sight. Even at 100 yards away, eyes squinting. But it wasn't until I got close that the car took on a new form. It was the details that ensnared me - details you wouldn't find anywhere else. Details that didn't come from the minds of the creative; instead, these details were earned. These details were unique; irreplicable. This car had a patina that said one thing: "veteran." The monolithic air dam, jutting out from the chin of the car, was peppered - no, sandblasted with rock chips, each one speaking to a different instance of the beast giving chase. Each chip came from a certain track, a specific turn, tossed by a single tire of what may be an equally legendary car. In a world where cleanliness is often praised, this E9 said more to me than most ever have. I couldn't help but wonder where this car had been. What had it seen? I knew it was rich with history; more than most." (Source: see here)
