This is so confused and stupid I actually feel sorry for you.  In 
actuality the car is speech twice over: a person "makes a statement" 
with the vehicle he or she purchases, whether it be a Rolls, a Porsche 
or a Ford Pinto.  And like Beethoven or Tolstoy, the creator of 
something is also making a statement with something created, so the 
design team of the boat is making a statement with the type of boat they 
put on the market.  These are very simple concepts so I'm not surprised 
you fucked them up royally.
