Last weekend, I put on the HRE 895s and asked my nephew who loves cars which one he likes better. His words were, "I like these better (HRE). They are the most awesome wheels." When I asked him about the 360 Mesh8s, he said, "no, I don't like them that much b/c they are dirty and not as awesome"
Gotta love these kids

I took all 3 of my young daughters out for ice cream in my E55 about a month ago.
Driving back, some pimply faced kid in a Mustang GT (why is it always somebody in a Mustang who wants trouble???) starts playing with me....
revving it up, surging past me, slowing back down, giving me the eye, etc.
Through the grace of God, we both wound up side by side at the head of our lanes at a red light. I asked my girls if they wanted Daddy to spank the mustang and they started screaming yes.
So as I put it in sport mode and got prepared to ***** slap this kid, my 7 year old puts down the window and gleefully starts screaming at him "My Daddy is going to spank you, my Daddy is going to spank you!!!"
He gives me this puzzled WTF look as all three of my girls are pointing at him and laughing hysterically. The poor kid never knew what happened when the light turned green and I dropped the hammer.
Loved it until my girls told Mom the story - then I was in trouble!

I just can't keep my kids out of the car (girl=3.5 and boy=2). Every time out in the garage, all they want to do is get in "Daddy's white car"....unfortunately w/o the airbag shut off I've never taken either one for a ride...Maybe this year. My daughter however now finds the car "too loud" and it scares her when I start it...so I'm hoping a ride will help that.
It's wonderful when they're that young...
Not so much when they drive and want to drive it to impress their friends/the girls...
Went thru that with both my boys when they were 16-20 years old when we had the SVT Mustang and the C5 Vette.
Talk about grief!
This past Xmas my oldest drove the Porsche home from one of the holiday gatherings at a relative's house... I was in the passenger seat and "supervising"! He got out of the car shaking... This is the kid with the 400+HP 3rd Gen RX7... Needless to say, it made his xmas!

After a rather detailed session of explaining the differences of the tt and gt2 to my 10 year old son [who is obviously quite pissed at this point because I don't have a gt2], he says
"But dad, if it was raining and we were in the "wigglies" you would at least have a chance, right?"
Twisties...wigglies...gotta love it. I think I found a new word!
Anybody else gotten a good chuckle out of their kids lately?

Was sitting with my 5 year old daughter having an Italian ice at a sidewalk place in LA. A Saleen Mustang drives by and she asks what it was. After I told her it was a Mustang, she asked if it was a poseur driving it. I agreed... Turns out the guy sitting next to us had the Mustang parked in front of us on the street.
Geez. Already a German car snob at 5... My fault, I know, I know.
