Here's my thread about my 16yo daughters car:

I think most people's comments are well intentioned, and then there's always a creep or two.

Ish 993, love the thread about your daughters car, that's what we do as fathers and you are right about the comments

Maybe I missed something but 95% of the posts have been supportive. A few have expressed concern. I would not call these members a creep Great thread Opo and thanks for sharing

History is full of well-intended parents who throw money and cars at young people who might be ill-equipped to handle them, often with tragic results.

Of course, I would never wish any harm to befall anyone, but if pointing out that sometimes there can be unintended consequences for "too much, too soon", then I'm happy to be a "creep". I would imagine any parent whose child has been in any jeopardy because of a young, inexperienced person with a powerful car would also agree.

Sorry my original post on this thread was misconstrued

Next on the slippery slope is to change out the rear window for a Euro without the CHMSL and add the 993 third light on both your cars

I don't get why so much focus on the negatives of youth. NOT being a parent, I can't relate personally. HOWEVER, if I had a teen I'd do everything in my power to interest him/her in my hobby (profession at times), and would fully expect behavior in proportion to responsibility extended. What other more irresponsible parents do, I couldn't really control But again, speaking as a non-parent.

On the flip side, I guess I fall on deaf ears in being the lone wolf here who was fortunate to have one of these young. Somewhat of a leap of faith on my parent's part to assist me in getting that 911 before I could totally afford it on my own. But I think in the nearly 32 years that have elapsed, I've been able to "pay back" the community a thousand fold or more. And damn right I'll be boastful about it.

Funny that I ran into a guy in a Lowe's parking lot in Roseville up by my mom's this morning. Spotted a beautiful orange '71T Targa. Owner was coming out just as we were parking. Turns out the car was his neighbor's when he was a kid, and he had been detailing it for the guy starting when it was a couple of years old. Had the chance to buy it when the owner was getting his new '77 (poor guy), but he was a little too cash poor. Finally got it in '83. Has had a couple of 930s along the way, he said. But he was entrusted to drive the car as a teen, and didn't wreck it.

Or maybe it's only these damn young kids who don't appreciate anything? Might explain my cousin's son in USF2000, doing reasonably well, and is two steps below Indycar. At 19. Which was the age Vettel got his ride in the Toro Rosso, if I recall.......
