That is a great point...I didn't even think of it that way...it was all caught up with the fact that it was the first time I had two Porsches at a show....However, you guys have set me straight...now when my son wakes up I am going to slap that SOB and tell him he's spoiled rotten and that he better shape up!...Truth of the matter is he is a good kid with aspirations of going to the Air Force Academy.

Yep...thanks...he is exploring Navy as well for the very reason you state....he has flown already with an instructor and has taken ground school when he was 14 (I took it with him) but they would not let him take the test....currently studying to take it this summer.

Short field work, energy control, and with limited power, the desire to go around when things get bad is a very real test of decision-making.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

With now an additional driver I can take my two speed yellow beauties to RTC Exotics Porsche Day. I thought I would share the pictures. I love the look of both cars but I am biased. The 993 is all original with 55K miles still almost showroom new....the 996 (also 55k) is heavily modified with a 997S Engine and Tranny (and just about everything else is new).
here are the cars right before the show in my driveway after I detailed them
Perfection. Interesting that in the first shot with even lighting the 996 seems a bit brighter than the 993, but both are speed yellow, correct?
Nonetheless, perfection.

But you are right, we are both lucky.
I also thought the thread title was a wind up. I expected to see pictures of a totaled 996.
Looking good though, a speed yellow 911 is on my car bucket list.
I think I was fairly sensible at age 16 (no tickets, accidents or incidents).
I also think that if you'd given me a Porsche to drive, you'd have been wise to keep a close eye on me.
I was 16 when I moved out and bought my first car for $500.00 (1961 Vw Bus) and it was a rust bucket. The memories my friends and I have in that van are priceless though!
Two of my good childhood friends had dads that where Doctors and drove 911's, that's when the dream started...
Good kids do dumb things in ordinary cars and really dumb things in fast cars. Give him the keys too many times at his age and the best case is that your future grandchild will be conceived in one of those cars.
Christ I sound like my dad...
We did the 16 year old son thing with my 944 Turbo. Worked out great right up to the point of impact with the guard rail... OTOH, the deputy wrote no ticket since the guard rail was not damaged. Made for interesting conversations vis who pays what for repairs, vs. making insurance claim which would have increased premiums for a decade.
Moral of the story: Spoil the rod and spare the kid.
OTOH, things turned out OK, and now he's a USMC pilot, looking for 'cheap' Porsches to fix up.
Thank your son for his service....sounds like we are following in your footstpes�
And Froog�.he drives the 410HP 996 and I drive the 993. He is not allowed to pass me.
Not quite, though my first track day the car was spectacular. More power than I know what to do with and will need to grow into it. R&T GT3 suspension is real nice...better than the JRZs I had before. Shifting with 997 tranny is much more crisp. THe sound is out of this world. Two things I need to still look into is oil consumption is a bit high compared to before and I need to have Dundon still tune the ECU for smoother variocam transitions at 2500-3000RPM. I still owe a post on what I did to the car. Thanks for asking.
Good times. My son drove the 928GT to high school for a year or so. Some kids handle responsibility well, some do not. Sounds like your son is worthy of the joy driving a nice Porsche.
As for the Air Farce, well the future is drone pilots on the ground driving the fast movers with the star on the side. If he wants to actually FLY a plane, recommend the Navy or Marines. They will not be doing night-carrier ops for fighter jets from the comfort of a Barcalounger for a while. HS curriculum heavy in math, science, and he might just go get his pilot license in the mean time. Have his eyes, teeth, hearing, and balance checked well before committing.
good luck

People think I'm crazy(well, I am) but here's my recommendation for anyone trying to fly for a living. Buy the oldest, rattiest tailwheel low power plane you can find. Learn to fly that. It's all about energy management, and a low power tailwheel plane will make a great pilot for the Navy/Marines. Tailwheel landing requires skills that can't be taught any other way. Short field work, energy control, and with limited power, the desire to go around when things get bad is a very real test of decision-making. Pilotage is like blue water sailing. It is not inherently a difficult thing, but the plane in the air, like a small ship at sea is not forgiving of mistakes. One becomes a master,,, or one gives up and learns carpentry instead. (apologies to any carpenters in advance)
OP- Those pictures are AMAZING!
One of the reasons I bought my 996 is because I wanted my kids to have that experience and responsibility when they were ready for it. My almost 17 year old gets to drive the 996 every once in a while, and he's incredibly appreciative, and completely addicted to the 996! He understands responsibility way more than I did at that age and I'm glad he can have this experience every once in a while!
