Default A picture almost ruined my dream😎

So I am looking for my first 911 and my 17 year old daughter walks behind me as I am drooling on a red targa 4S, and says.... oh no, you're not buying a beatle are you ???? Then I thought wtf!!!
My daughter doesn't know crap about cars, other than wanting a Gwagon!!! but I had to see where she was coming from.

And you know how that dream girl can suddenly become fugly cause you caught her picking her nose or even worse, she smokes......

well check this out...Damn... But not quite !!! But not so sure I want the wide body anymore tho!!!

I still sent her to her room !!

Take your daughter for a ride, mash the accelerator to the floor and as you lovingly look at her pale face, ask her what she thinks of "The Beetle".

Look again from the rear, that's no bug, it's a wide body!

I see round headlights and sumptuous curves. That doesn't cause the two cars to look similar.

A TVR cerbera has round headlights and sumptuous curves, but I wouldn't mistake it for my 911.

My 15 year old is teaching skiing. He has a group of six year old girls.
While going up the chair lift with two of them. They tell him ...
"they want to dig out his eyes, cut him up into pieces to make soup, and feed him to the government".
Obviously these 6 year old girls are watching too much Dexter.

I think they have to >3 to be cute. Your 17 year old sounds mean
As a lesson. Change her home screen on her phone to a ... 911 of course

Children often say the oddest things. My granddaughter wanted me to paint my white 968 pink and give it to her when she turned 16. After pausing and thinking of any number of snappy comments I decided to say,” that’s certainly something to think about.” We get a good laugh at that one. The car is still white and she ain’t getting it!

Let your daughter call it anything she wants. Just go buy it and enjoy it!! Don't think she will confuse my first car ('66 beetle) with a 911



No jokes about my old beetle. What do you want for $400. Darn thing got me everywhere.

I’m sure it’s a trick of the camera, but I’ve never seen so much positive camber on a rear wheel before.
