That closer look at the wicked cars you see around town
Meet Veronica. That’s not what the manufacturer calls this car – it’s actually a 2004 Porsche 911 C4S. But to her owner, a local photographer and pursuer of beautiful things, she is Veronica. Or V3RNICA, as the license plate reads.
She’s named appropriately. Veronica. Sleek, sexy, elegant. You have to know how to handle a Veronica, though. Pamper her, but don’t baby her (she’s driven even in the winter and has travelled as far south as Los Angeles). Admire her from afar, then make yourself worthy of her (the owner has been lusting after this car since he was 12, and worked two jobs to finance it). Make her yours. Get her to do the sort of things that you’ve always fantasized about (like doing tracks at Willow Springs).
