Fanatic, on the other hand, came from the Latin word fanaticus, meaning enthusiatic, inspired by a god. Modern-day manifestation of these phenomenon are glimpsed in show business and regenerative sports like football, basketball, or motor racing, where fans root for a city, or a team.
Pretty much like in bullfighting, interests in such industries, and the industries themselves, stand the test of time on account of the aficionados and fanatics who patronize them.
These men and women who have aficion don’t need any economic interest. Just the sheer joy of seeing their favorite stars and athletes rise above themselves and face the challenges of their professions.
But, no matter how hard we wish for it, there may never be another Ali, Schumacher, Pele or Garbo that can put nations at a standstill. That may be so, but for those who have aficion, the wait is unnecessary, and a worthy sacrifice for the next real thing.
In the meantime, however, we can look back and show our affection for those athletes and artists that have in the past inspired us. Dedicated to the subculture that has inspired the film called The Fast and the Furious, this blog seeks to provide the lowdowns on car technologies featured in the film. And when the next real advancement in car mods comes, we can perhaps see that the present can be as glorious as its past.
