he decorates his bedroom wall with Panorama and Excellence pictures and makes Porsche T-shirts in his graphics design class in high school (not bad for his first one). It is great to have a passion you share with your kids!

mine too, but you'd have to add some Christy Brinkley and Kathy Ireland posters.

There is a lot worse a kid can get into in today's world.

My high school wall was decorated with 356 pictures, one a color photo of a 550 Spyder engine on a dynamometer at Porsche with cheery red exhaust pipes glowing - the 911 was in the future.

Awesome. I remember making basically books of Porsche drawings in boring school classes - I mean, what boring classes?

Does he collect scale model Porsches too?

However, his walls are defintely the densest I've seen in terms of Porsche content! There is probably a reason for the placement of each picture, too.

Sounds like he is already doing so, but should take some more art classes. There could be more untapped potential in there. You probably know that though!

Get him on the track ASAP too!

Take care!

A true Porschephile in progress. I'd say he is way ahead of the curve.

No, he doesn't collect scale model. He does take a couple of design classes and he does have some talent he must have got from his mom, because it didn't come from me. We did a few autocrosses last year and he is pretty dang good. I am going to take him in April to do DE at the track. He will be in heaven for sure!

We spent about 2 weeks tearing down the car (removing the old clearbra, fender protectors, tail lights, rear center reflector, headlights, exhaust, front bumper, bumperetts, etc) washing, claying, polishing, waxing, and putting it all back together. It was fun to have him help and it came out great.
