They may only be one twenty-fifth of the actual size, they will never dart around a pot hole or have 0.9 tenths of gravity forced against their sidewalls.
They are not real and never will they be. They do however represent something that has become synonymous with precision and craftsmanship.
Even in their tiny scale the details are strictly adhered to. The directional tread, lug nuts and crest fastidiously crafted in absolute dedication to the real thing.
Although there isn't going to be a set under my bench with track tires mounted up waiting for that sunny Saturday to arrive. My reverence for them is unmoved.
They are indistinguishable from any other single auto part ever made for any single automobile. They've stood the test of time and trends, they withstood the decadence of the '80's, they cliché of the '90's and have found a cult following in the new millennium.
They are the representation of a belief, that sticking to your gut and following in your heart no matter what the critics and industry say will pay out in droves.
They on their own are an icon of an industry and a country. They are something to believe in.
The Fuch you gonna do about it?
