Yeah, it's one of those things... He's 24, and trying to get his life going in this economy, so he's typical for the generation, I guess. The car is paid for, and I've moved to the 997, so letting him drive it made sense. He's been pretty responsible with it, but there's plenty he can learn about the maintenance and mechanics of the car that he just doesn't take much interest in. This event was a good motivator for him to include himself in some of the work, so we'll see how that goes. At least he noticed something wrong, that's a good sign. I've told him I'll hand him the title if he pays for, and participates in the rebuild and refresh, which I know any of us would have leaped at when we were that age. He has to contend with a peer group that values coffee-can mufflers and neon undercarriage lighting, so it will be interesting to see how that goes.
