Smile Another Milestone

Like his first word, step, and trip to the hardware store, here's another important milestone in my grandson's life.
He knows it's not just a car, but a "car, Porsche"

Cute kid and the way to go... My 29 month old has no problem identifying the 911 shape and does it with almost 80% accuracy.
I routinely take him out for a spin and just before i accelerate the car,i ask him Ali,are you ready and after jumping to the back seat and putting the seat belt on,he then says yes i am ready and ready he gets for the boost.Honestly i kid you not,he not only loves the boost he loves the hard braking part as well,crazy kid..
I wish i have the camera installed in the car to capture his excitement esp when the boost kicks in,the image of the big grin on his face is priceless..he loves it.

He he. My 5-month old loves rides in the P-car, as well. Actually, like most kids, he seems to love car rides in general (no crying, smiles or sleeps peacefully regardless of driving style). But he's especially easily placated in the 911. I think he's got classically good taste, but my wife thinks he just likes looking out all that expanse of greenhouse in the back.

Nathans Dad, The model is a Maisto, but I couldn't find it with a quick google search, but did find this:http://www.speednation.com/store/product857.html
Thanks, Yasir. This kid is so seriously into identifying things, it wasn't long before he realized it's not just any old car.
Noah, you bet, it's an old parents trick to take a restless kid out for a ride. The rumble, vibration and steady drone of the motor works like a charm, especially our rumbly cars.
