He had chosen it not for its utility, but as a symbol. Confirmation that he no longer wanted a slot in the fast lane. The BMWs he had once owned he now derided. “I’m out of the race,” he said. As the years went by, it became clear to his friends that he had not left the race; he had simply redefined it.
