I use mine to drive my son to daycare and all the kids run to the window to see the race car when they hear me pull up. The other parents are baffled

I used to do that but grew tired of practically begging people to believe that I'm not driving a $100k car. Finally decided to let people believe what they wanted to and I just laugh it off now.

The people I don't understand are the ones driving $40k cars that look and my $20k 996 with lust while saying "some day..." or "my wife would never let me". I couldn't stand being so scared of actually living my life as some of these people seem to be.

During the spring and fall seasons, how about frunking 15 or so soccer ***** (size 5) to soccer practices/games, if you remove the spare tire, of course. On the plus side, if someone crashes heavily into your front, I would imagine they would bounce back unscathed.

Ball bags in the frunk, flexible goals in the back seat - every spring and fall for U6 & U12 soccer practices - have been doing it for years - my boys love it.
