Dude, that lady didn't push it at all.

My mom's been driving her 944 daily for like 10 years. She used to pick me up from about 6th grade to 10th grade with it. My little bro in the back seat and me in the front. But my mom drives like that lady in the video too...

Nice video! Thanks Luis!

Default Was that Mr. Bean?

When the mom stopped at the school and all the kids were crowded around the car there's a shot of the driver's side mirror with a goofy looking guy rubbing his face. I could have sworn that was Rowan Atkinson aka Mr. Bean.

Did anyone else notice him?

To be honest... this is one of my favorites:

The other is one of the original Boxster commercials where "It's always the children who suffer most."

I can't remember when I was actually able to fit in the backseat of her 944 without it hurting

My mom loves her car. She's had quite a few different cars, and she says the 944 is the best one in every way. It was painful squeezing into a p-car when all my friends were getting picked up in suburbans and tauruses, but I would never have traded the experience. Every second of discomfort was cool!

I try to get her to come on the fun-runs but like I said she doesn't like fast driving. Not like the guy in the last video... But that's not a 944 it's a 911. IIRC it's a RUF yellow bird CTR.
