I've wanted to get these siblings together for a photoshoot forever, but having a 1 and 4 year-old in the house has made it difficult. That, and my lack of desire to let any of my friends drive my cars. I met a cool (maybe slightly misguided) kid that lives about ten minutes from me on YouTube. He tagged along with me to Cars and Coffee in the GT3. He happens to be a pro photographer and had nothing to do on a Saturday, so we drove the cars to my spot and took some shots. I've been meaning to explain how a take, edit, and upload a photo, so this was an opportune time.
After we got to my house and gathered up the gear, I tossed him the key to my GT3. You heard me right, I TOSSED HIM THE KEY TO MY GT3! I think he almost had a heart attack. Now, I looked him dead in the eyes and sternly said, "This car is my life's dream. I will murder you if you mess it up." (Man, I'm getting soft in my advancing age.) I would have never let anyone drive my car a few years ago. Shoot my wife's only been in it once! So I led the 10 minute trip to the spot in the lowly M3. After the shoot, I was assuming he'd want to drive the M3 back. I held out both keys and asked him, "Which one." He snatched the GT3 key without a second thought. I fully understood.
I'm realizing the position I am in being blessed beyond what I deserve in owning these two special cars. I completely understand what it means to someone that is like me that is younger or doesn't have the means. Not that I'm interested in letting everyone I come across drive my cars, but I'm trying my hardest to let others in on this experience. Anyway, here are the videos and photos.
