I really do feel sorry for people who don't have Porsches b/c it is something that you will never understand until you have been an owner. That being said, it is still important to have kids and toys which is why I still have my son and my bike. I have had the same conversation with my wife about should the kid ever be allowed to ride in my car due to how messy he is, but if you think about it, kids and Porsches don't mix. Just my 2 cents.

Nicely put

....Although I personaly have no problem mixing kids and my Porsches. They clash once in a while, but hey, you an't have everything.

As far as "checking with the wife" ...Nope, not me. Flesh marbles intact.

I've blown off a few Porsche events (tours, track, AX, garage session) to spend quality time with the kids though...absolutely.
