Great advertising. But honestly, I always wanted a red Lamborghini Countach when I was that age. Only when I came to my senses in my adulthood did I realize that car is actual crap and wanted a 911

Good commercial. I can relate. My love for Porsches stems from growing up riding around in my dad's '69 911T and eventually learning to drive a stick in it. Subsequently I accidentally dropped the clutch in reverse and backed it into a wall. I ran for my life!

That's a great commercial which came oit with the launch of the 997 . They've made other great ones too .

This one (also from the 997) touches a theme of childhood , remembering young adulthood , which leads to a father/son bond -- emphasizing the 997 and its roots.
