Undercover sports cars

There are two classes of car that I dislike - the 4X4/SUVs and sports cars. Both have such major transport and environmental shortcomings, as well as massive in-built redundancy, that I find it hard to imagine why anyone buys such vehicles. But buy them they do, often motivated, it seems, by reasons that have nothing to do with their suitability as transport. With such views you may wonder why I smiled when I saw this Porsche and the Ferrari hidden under their manufacturer-supplied covers. The fact is I saw those covers as shrouds and imagined both vehicles were imminently bound for that great scrapyard in the sky!
