"They said you had a nice car, and I told them if they went to college and worked hard they could have one too."

Didn't know the Boxster was a motivational speaker too
I had a similar experience this past September. I was at our church school in the Milwaukee's central city, and a 9-10 y-o asked me what kind of car it was. I told him, and he replied, "Wow. I wish I had one of those."

I told him if he studies hard in school and works really hard and saves his money when he grows up as I did, he probably will.

So, yeah. Use it to motivate the young. They'll be paying whatever Social Security we get in 10-30 years.
