Last night, I shoehorned the whole family into the P, just to go to the grocery store; while it was not entirely comfortable for all - afterall, this car is anything but a people mover - it was a hell of a lot of fun! As we unloaded in the parking lot, we overheard a couple of kids remark how amazed they were that 4 people actually got out of that thing! We had a nice chuckle, grabbed some groceries and shoehorned back in for the short trip home.

He was cleaning his wife's landcruiser and didn't even hear the car move. No real damage to the car other than a small scrape that can probably be buffed out, but man that's spooky. Oh, the wood fence has two busted boards.

Yeah I agree. My daughter went with my wife and I to pick up my 997 last Saturday and got as much fun as I did I think behind the driver's wheel. My son.".always goes with dad" when I go out running errand so he can ride in the "Porsha" as he calls it OR until recently the M3. He already knows the difference and frequently is found on his Gamecube driving his Porsha Boxter in his Need For Speed Video game. My wife says I'll pay later but at this time I think I've created TWO monsters in that she really was eyeing this yellow Cayman S that was in the dealer's showroom when we picked up my 997 and prononuced it "here NEXT car!" LOL But it's nice to share the maddness with the family....now if I could get her to the track or myself even and get a few mods maybe for Xmas or Father's day..then it would be all good.

Unfortunately my wife can drive both a stick and an automatic although she prefers the automatic...I still have to double check the driveway every now and often to see what she's actually taken from the garage. As long as she leaves the Carrera to my own devices 99% of the time...I am cool!

Here's a pic of my friend and her son in my P car. Next day, he and his dad were driving around town and they stopped next to a Porsche and the little boy says, "there's Amy's car." So cute.
