My 17 yearold son wants to touch everything and have me go 80 in a school zone.....go figure! My daughter is 26 and asks "Why did you buy that 'thing', dad??"

Some folks just don't get it....oh well!

My 16 year old sister hates it when I pick her up from high school(I graduated from the same place a year ago). She says she hates how everyone comes up me asking about the car when I pick her up.

My golden retreiver (closest thing I have to a child) is petrofied of the car with the top down and curls up into a ball in the passenger side footwell... I can tell she is thinking, "I cannot wait to get out of this thing."

She no longer takes rides with me.

My 3 year old ALWAYS chooses the Boxster when we are 'on a date' or going to church (Mom leaves early because she is the head cantor, so I take Ella to church). I say 'do you want to take the Cayenne or the Boxster?' and she always yells 'Boxster!'. We get in (airbag deactivation kit on, seat belt on) and she says, before I even start, 'go faster!!'. Then later, I'll get a 'can we go faster?' I'm not a slow driver, by any stretch, and my wife won't even drive with me in that car because since I have been doing more tracking, I like to practice some things like late braking, blipping throttle, and carrying more speed in the corners - nice practice time, right? Anyway, she LOVES the Boxster and even has one of her own - a pedal version.

It's a Cayenne Turbo, too, so you'd think it would get the nod once in a while, but NOOOOO, she wants the Boxster. :dance:
