Sometimes she requests a specific car, so she ends up going to school in a different car almost every day. (How lucky is that\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>One day, after dropping her off and coming back home, my husband said,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">There\u2019s a boy who often waves at me when I drop her off in the morning. He really seems to love cars. He\u2019s in the same class.<br \/>\nHe said, &#8220;<strong>I\u2019ll let him ride with us next time!<\/strong>&#8221; Please talk to his mom about it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what he told me.<\/p>\n<p>I replied, &#8220;<strong>Oh, that\u2019s great. I\u2019ll talk to her next time.<\/strong>&#8221; but I forgot about it, and it just slipped my mind. Then he said,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">Have you talked to his mom about it? I really want to make time soon to let him ride. Since then, every time we meet at kindergarten, he waves at me.<br \/>\nI think it\u2019s really important for kids to have the experience of riding or touching the cars they admire while they\u2019re still young and sensitive. It can even change their lives.<br \/>\nMaezawa-san is doing a supercar project, and I think giving kids those kinds of opportunities is really meaningful.<\/p>\n<p>That made me think\u2026 I often hear stories of people who decided to become racers after watching an F1 race at Suzuka Circuit as kids, or who were deeply influenced by something in childhood that shaped their future.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back, I don\u2019t really have any memories of being that deeply moved as a child, so I guess I was just drifting through life\u2026 (-_-)<\/p>\n<p>Later, when I told the boy\u2019s mom, &#8220;<strong>My husband really wants to let your son ride in our car<\/strong>,&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">Really? Actually, my husband told me he\u2019d let him ride in the Porsche again, and our son was so happy to hear that. Maybe because of my husband\u2019s love for cars, our son really loves them too, and he\u2019s always coloring pictures of Porsches and Lamborghinis at home\u2026<br \/>\nAfter that, he got excited and said he wants to write a letter to your husband, so I\u2019ll give it to you next time!<\/p>\n<p>She said that, and we received the letter a few days later.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_23115\" style=\"width: 1118px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-23115\" class=\"wp-image-23115 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_1853.jpg\" alt=\"Porsche coloring picture\" width=\"1108\" height=\"833\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-23115\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apparently, he usually colors like this at home.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The letter had a beautifully colored Porsche and a message saying, &#8220;<strong>Please let me ride in the Porsche. From \u25cb\u25cb<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So cute\u2026 (T_T)<\/p>\n<p>My husband was really impressed by the letter, and we arranged a time for him to ride in the Porsche on the Royu Driveway.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"style3a\">Making a Young Car Lover\u2019s Dream Come True<\/h3>\n<p>I asked in advance, &#8220;<strong>Which Porsche would you like to ride?<\/strong>&#8221; and he requested the 911 Cabriolet, so we planned to go with two cars that day: the 911 Cabriolet (992) and the Cayenne.<\/p>\n<p>That morning, while coordinating with his mom,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">Our son was counting down the days and even woke me up at 5 a.m. saying, &#8220;<strong>Today\u2019s the day I get to ride in a Porsche!<\/strong>&#8221; (laughs)<\/p>\n<p>was her reply.<\/p>\n<p>Since he was so excited, we decided, &#8220;<strong>Let\u2019s bring both the 911 Cabriolet and the Boxster GTS! He can ride in both!<\/strong>&#8221; So I went to pick up the Boxster from a parking lot near the station before heading out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23133\" src=\"https:\/\/www.panamera-life.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/IMG_1661.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the weather was perfect that day, and the boy and his mom enjoyed riding with us in the 911 Cabriolet and Boxster with the roofs down. The dads had a great time chatting about cars, and the whole family shared a wonderful experience. <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">(His mom even rode with me in the MT Boxster, haha.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By the way, when I asked which car he liked better, the 911 Cabriolet or the Boxster GTS, he said, &#8220;<strong>I liked the Boxster GTS better<\/strong>.&#8221; Maybe the engine sound was more thrilling?<\/p>\n<p>This was before the state of emergency was declared, so we didn\u2019t stay long and headed home. When saying goodbye, we gave him some Porsche goodies as souvenirs: a Porsche keychain, a Porsche flag, and catalogs.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, the boy\u2019s mom sent me a message,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well\">Our son was so happy and immediately attached the keychain to his kindergarten bag! Also, my husband was inspired by Mina\u2019s driving and said, &#8220;<strong>More than wanting to drive a Porsche himself, he really wants to get his wife into one<\/strong>,&#8221; so I might go for my license upgrade soon (laughs).<\/p>\n<p>My husband said,  <\/p>\n<p class=\"well3\">I\u2019m so glad he enjoyed it! You don\u2019t often meet kids who love cars that much. I hope he keeps that passion as he grows up!<br \/>\nAnd I hope he can come to Royu on Sunday mornings when sports cars gather!<\/p>\n<p>with a big smile.<\/p>\n<p>As he grows, he might lose interest in cars, but I hope he cherishes his pure feelings now and grows up well.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll do my best too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Our Younger Daughter Goes to Kindergarten in a Porsche Our younger daughter currently attends kindergarten, and every morning my husband drives her there.
