I do appreciate the Zen comment, Brucelee.... However, I don't think anyone is really taking this "issue" serious nor to heart, it was just merely a "sign of times" observation and an initial rant about my ridiculously spoiled nephew. I think the popularity of this thread is linked more to the over-the-top nature of some people and their kids and how it relates to most people....(most of us know someone or someone's children who act like this) --- so it kinda does "hurt a nerve" in a way, just not negatively IMHO.
In fact, I have grown to admire and be inspired by even more of the character, friendliness and purely geniune people on this forum --- simply from the responses to this thread....so, if nothing else, it is good to know we are among good people.
You really care what anyone else thinks, let alone an 11 year old?
Do you enjoy the car? Enough said.
But if you still feel the need to respond take him for a "ride". That way he can find out just how much one of the best handling production sports cars in the world "sucks".
I think this is exactly what you should share with your 11 year old nephew - especially the first article. I am sure when you explain to him what the article means when it says "To put it bluntly, the Boxster's a xxxxx with wheels," he will start to respect your car.
