"Boxsters suck!" From an 11 year old. (my personal rant)

[djomlas]

but boxsters do suck

[brp987]

Nice story. Maybe send it to your sister and she'll read it to him. Kinda reminds me of this (hope the link works):

blood sweat and tears

Hi Meerzee, Reading your post I sensed some degree of animosity between you and your sister's family, blaming the parents for what your nephew said, seriously these 11 year old brats are better informed than us old farts with all that **************** on TV, Net, Magazines, Friends, etc., and lets hope he doesn't read 986 Forum or we're screwed ., and please don't listen to any girls opinions about all the he said she said crap unless you want to live the rest of your life alone without your family.Women will generally (always ) instill negative things in your mind about your side and nice things about theirs because they're are all jealous of each others hair.

Think positive

OH almost forgot when he turns 18 you have the right to smack him

At the pet store there is a device that goes on the dogs collar that can shock the dog in the neck when the owner presses a button on a remote control. I always felt that if I had children I would buy one of these as soon as they learned how to make noise. Have we all forgot the saying "children should be seen but not heard"?

I was at the airport about a year ago and I remember this family trying to check their luggage with 3 little diablos. They were aged about 6, 3 and the other was an infant. The oldest was constantly running around kicking things while screaming, the 3 year old would not stop crying and the mother was unable to run after the brats since she was holding the infant while trying to check her luggage. The father kept saying "now now Jr, settle down please" in a Metroman sort of way. The oldest needed a firm boot in the ass but parents these days have forgot the concept.

I just kept thinking though how the mother really needed the remote control dog shocker.

"Oh Jr, come back here!" says the desperate mother.

"No! WAAAAAAA" screams the small brat.

Out comes the remote control and PZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Ha ha ha!!! laughs Cartagena as he watches the child scream in pain and fall to the ground.

But of course this is only my dream.

It's absolutely about parenting. If money in valued more than character in his upbringing, he's in for one hell of a ride when he becomes an adult. Look at all those teen stars out of control (who can escape the "news" these days ) money + bad parenting = serious problems.

It's never about what others think about your car. The kid obviously wouldn't know **************** from putty however..

My Boxster sucks...
Sucks up other cars on the road
Sucks into the appex of every curve i can find
Suck in the compliments at gas stations
Sucks up the side of my face and makes me smile
Sucks in the other car guys at the corvette shop we where at this morning

Boxters do suck

[Stunin_Stud]

hey your a good man dont let this child get to you. I feel bad that he is numb to everything and has lost his ability to feel and understand. then again he is 11.

we all work hard and for me having this car was an accomplishment. Im now 22 and got my car when i was 21. Im a student, support my self and happened to get a good deal and my payments are low. I am thankful and I too am giving back to my community.

lol good ones.

[Bavarian Motorist]

It's funny how people who have never driven a car, or especially a kid who has presumably never driven ANY CAR, can hold such strong reservations about them.



Don't worry about it. It's not about $$ in this case; it's about total ignorance.



And you know it trickled down from the parents....

[[z0ne]]

Backhand his teeth out of his mouth.
Take him for a drive on some windy road.
Make him clean his blood off of your leather.

That'll teach him.

If he whines, tell him z0ne says stfu.

[Brucelee]

Good night and Good Luck!

[meerzee]

ah, such good advice and ideas.....Love the brat buzz shocker, cartagena. Let me know where you get a set in stock, I might to just have to pay my sister an unexpected visit & early Christmas gift.

All in all, life is good!!! None of this crap bothers me, I have been in some horrific situations in my life and held the line regardless, so a punk and his comments mean nothing to me in the grand scheme of things....I just took the opportunity to share the event since I thought it was appropriate and maybe even a little "signs of the times" ---- Well, right now....I am sitting in a coffee shop in Covington on a beautiful sunny day, temps in the mid 70s and just loving life. Me and my sucky Boxster are having an awesome day (haha) and about to watch LSU game with some friends. So, just goes to show you just how amazing life can be even when you have to settle for and love a car that just plain sucks.

HAHAHA!

Thanks for the support...

[Dr. Kill]

You should have thrown hot coffee on the little guy. That would teach him...

On YouTube there are a number of super smart people who are willing to be videotaped with the dog collar on! Here is one such video:

Just tell the kid his Schwinn sucks,they your even.

I think there is a south LA, thrill in the air. I got a wave from a female cop early this morning on 190 between covington and Mandeville for the first time in the history of the boxster. If you are familiar with the area, you know the speed trap right on the other side of the bridge, where you couldn't see them until it's too late. Normally they give the "you got lucky this time" look, but this morning, she approved of my top down fly-by in the best weather we have had all year.

Were either of you at the strip mall near Starbucks, Kmart, and Lighting Inc. today? It is rare to see a modified boxster in Louisiana and there was one with a new bumper and new tails.

Anyway Meerzee, your boxster doesn't suck. Though, the kid will probably be driving that v12 s600 and it makes me jealous, that doesn't suck either.

..... and by the way, it's ROLL TIDE for me.

Hang in there...while it's easy to blame parents for everything (this might be in fact the case)...the kid was just trying to get a rise out of you (true, he may be spoiled, but maybe not)

He knew he wouldn't get smacked for saying it, and I don't know what the follow-up with your sister was. He probably "had" to go outside and look at your new car instead of playing Halo 3 with his friends online and he was pizzed about it.

Uncalled for, yes...I'm not "standing up" for today's generation...but, this sort of behavior has been going on for centuries.

Hopefully, he will grow out of it...it just "hit close to home" because it's your new pride and joy, and you've worked hard for it. Remember not to take too much stock in what an 11 yo says, they're practicing up for being a teenager.

I wasn't around there today, Max....I did see a modified red Boxster in Metairie at a bank at the intersection of Transcontinental and West Esplanade....and I was in Folsom (wasting time driving the curves of Million Dollar Road!) and I saw a couple cops and they were pretty friendly today I must say......it was a great day to be out and about....I did pass a yellow S2000 on Million Dollar Road and is it just me or do I see a ton of those SKY/SOLSTICE running around....but no Boxsters around Mandeville, I was surprised.

Max, are there ever any events around the area for getting together, working on the cars, or just taking a drive? Feel good that at least Gary from BR and few others would be up for a nice Boxster fun/work day sometime. In any case, thanks again and keep in touch.

Thanks for all of the support ---- I don't know who to blame what on anymore, but kids are kids. However, in this case I can assure everyone that it is INDEED the parent's negative influence, attitude and airs of entitlement just lviing out through their children. I grimace each time I think about these kids in just about 5 years..... holy terrors x 1000 :troll:

Oh well, not my issue right? HAHA
