Default A 968 fan heads to college....

Those of you who have met me personally over the years have probably also met my son Greg. He is just as much a car enthusiast as his father and has been eyeing 968s since they came out and he was just a small child. Well, I’m not sure how it happened, and it sure happened quickly enough, but Greg heads off to college at Pace in NYC next week. I thought you would enjoy seeing these photos of Greg (with his sister) looking at a new 93 968 coupe with me in 1995 (couldn’t afford it) and him today with Minty and the coupe. He has no idea how much his Dad will miss him once he leaves for college.

Good luck to Greg, college is a challenge and a gift. Congrats Jeff. Does he get a p-car? I got my first 968 halfway through senior year... but I had a 944 before that!

Will be in the same position next year at this time. Kind of weird thing is'nt it, you want to see them start something new but then you do want them to leave either.

Congrats, new chapters are always scary at first but in time comes a whole new set of memories. It doesn't look like you guys will have any problem remaining close. Thanks for letting us take part!

Congratz! My 968 turned into a full-blown track car my junior year of college... So it does give something to shoot for with the studies.

Best of luck Greg and congratulations Jeff, I'm dropping my son Alan off in Philly on saturday, he'll be a sophomore...

Wish I had taken a picture, I picked him up at South Station a week ago, coming home from his summer job in Maine. Put his bicycle, huge parachute bag, big box of stuff, and backpack in the back of #53 ( the passat was down with a heater core leak ). I've taken to calling the 968 " the wagon "...
