Costco was selling these metal car models which are about 10 inches long. Doors and trunks open. My two year loves his. He has a Cayman, a Boxster, a Cayenne, a CGT, and a turbo 997 conv. He actually sleeps with the Cayman. Great gift for a little boy.

Dude.... 2 words.... smashed into one word.... POWERWHEELS, you have to get him a POWERWHEELS, i seen some cool ones at toys r us awhile back, like aVW beetle which actually had a roof, then the standard corvettes and Bigfoot and Dune Buggy.

You could put some money in a fund for him. Then say the money in the fund is to buy his first Porsche. I also like the Hot Wheels idea.

The only problem i see with a trust fund gift idea is the reaction the 3 year old child will have when hes told what he gotten from his godfather... I imagine the reaction to be like an explosive napalm thunderstorm of tears. Since hes 3 years old, he might already be knee deep in interest of some type of childrens TV program so why not get him something related to that TV show.

For instance, I was way into Gumby and Rock Lords, So my godfather (nino) bought me all the action figures he could find at Toys R us, which probably cost him less than 60 bucks but damn if i wasnt the happiest kid in the world right there and sure beat the hell out of the HeMan butt huggers underwears my Grandma got me.

Buy him a nice, new 997TT and tell his parents you'll drive it until he's old enough to understand the power under his right foot and then you'll give it to him.

That's so subjective that he'll be 40 by the time he respects the car enough to get it, and you'll be so friggin' old it won't matter any more because you'll be looking for chrome wheelchair rims to mod your retirement community ride.

Yup, a new Turbo is the PERFECT gift for any three year old!
