Porsche 911

I’m sure a lot of guys out there would love to give this mean machine a try. The car? A Porsche 911.

Why, even our President got himself a pre-owned Porsche but that is a different story altogether.

A car is a car but a Porsche? Who would call a Porsche a car? It is a Porsche, whether it’s a 911, a GT3, Carrera GT or even the Cayenne.

It feels like it has testosterone supplements in the gasoline that keeps it revving. But nah, the machine is superb and the brand wouldn’t come a long way if that’s not the case. Even little guys who love fast cars love Porsche.

Walter Roehrl, a rally legend during the 70s and 80s and a senior test driver for Porsche said that the engine so so good and “That is the reason I like this car, because it’s not the power, it’s the response of this car.”

How Do You Spell Daytona

Our son loves playing racing games and watching racing sports. Currently his favorite is the first season of the Bullrun Season 1 which he watches on DVD. He watched the whole season twice already 😉

So when we were having our Memory Drill games yesterday with two of my students, I was surprised he misspelled “Daytona” when he himself associated the word/place with “Nascar” (yes, where we see those Nascar jackets with a lot of colorful logos) when one of the boys he was having the drills with asked what Daytona is. (The word in the drill was Dayton, actually)

Frankly, I was disappointed when all of them misspelled Daytona since this is one of the racing games they can see in the arcades.

When I reminded them that they all said “Ay, tama!” (That’s right!) Yeah right 😀

Fast Cars

Fast cars. My children love these: car shows, racing games, and car toys. They do not settle for those mind-boggling/out-of-this-world designs but instead opt for real car designs.

Can you name the make (and if you are good with these, model) of these cars? Except the last two on the bottom of course 😀

Great weekend to y’all!
