[s-cars] Re: Baby round up!! Let's see how many there are!!

[David Priebe]

Please don't put it in the past tense yet. I still have until the end of
April!
Most people are surprised that my 911 is really my daily driver. And that I
am on kid drop-off in the mornings, so the kids really do ride in their car
seats every day. When I first bought the 911, I assumed that it would just
be a fun toy car, and that I would continue to drive my '91 200tqa. But the
Avant just sat in the driveway, especially once I figured out how to
properly get the kids seats in the 911. The kids now much prefer to ride in
Dad's car. And for me it really is a great all around driver. When track
days come up, I just pull out the kid's seats, throw in the harness and bar,
and put on the track tires.....Instantly it converts from kid-toter to track
animal. So to any parents out there with 2 or less kids, please consider a
911!
