In the background, workmen break up pavement with jackhammers. The ambient noise hits the pain threshold. The gentleman opens the car door, sits in the driver s seat and closes the door.
All noise ceases, replaced by overwhelming quiet.
Pulling back, the camera sees the luxury vehicle drive away through large potholes. The camera pans to wheels bouncing dramatically with each bump and hole in the road. Cut to driver. Soft classical music playing and no noticeable transfer of road surface to vehicle interior. That s exactly the feeling I get climbing into the enclosed flybridge on the new Hatteras 65 while running out Palm Beach Inlet in a stiff southeast wind against the tide.
