Have you ever gotten lost looking for your car in a parking lot? One reason is they all look alike. Same molded profile, same chromed front, same glamorous interior. Especially those interiors.
Check out that front panel. Big, bold, gleaming with screens and switches, packed with purpose and power. Power is the name of this game. Not just transportation, but finger-tip power! The power to maneuver this mechanical monster wherever you want; the power to access data from its engine and computers, all the way up to those GPS satellites at your command.
A moment of reflection here.
Isn't this a little like the feeling you got with your first prom night, first campus honor, first job promotion, first sexual conquest? Never thought about it that way? Try! In those moments, weren't you wrestling fate into submission? Getting what you wanted from it? And getting it right then and there?
Next time you sculpt your body into that cushioned seat, place your hands on that low-swept wheel, and feast your eyes on this banquet of controls, you might consider the same question most presidents, prime ministers and popes do: "What can I do with this much power...that's worth doing?"
