I will be there with my 16 year old son. He may drive a little bit. Depends on both of our comfort levels and his still shifting the Porsche. He is learning to drive a Jeep Wrangler I bought him (95, excelent condition and a stick). I think everyone should be able to drive a manual.

Finally time for Boxstoberfest! I'm leaving the office early tomorrow and getting down there asap. Can't wait to meet some new Boxster enthusiasts.

My kid is 16 and my wife brought up that very same point. It only took me a few minutes to let me convince her that I should put a bid in on a Boxster (Ebay) so he could have something to learn on.

Well, I got my Boxster but I'll be damned if I'm going to let him use it in order to learn to drive a stick.
