And this creaky veteran sabreur's ride to this weekend's tournament looks more like this: http://www.audi.com/de/de/neuwagen/a.../limousine.jsp
Which trumps any puny BMW 3-series....

besides where you see people wearing saber masks, and assume that they must be sabereurs, I see poor humiliated souls who are trapped in a cold cruel world (devoid of absolutes), when they could be enjoying the glory of the true path...
