Red Porsche in My Backyard
We finally trashed the old car and bought a new one. There were a few accidents lately with the old Renault. Nothing serious, but once something is broken, it’s just keeps happening and there’s no turning back. We bought it last winter and this really paid off, but last month when steering wheel started behaving strange in rightmost position, i started thinking about new car.
We wished something different—a sports car, something the whole family will enjoy, so we bought a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo. Don’t ask me how—i’m still under impressions myself. We just went into a store and picked one… oh, i wish we have more of such moments.
The car is all beautiful and shiny. The engine is made with such precision and with care for details—there’s no unfinished or rough edges—one could keep touching it whole day. We choose red color variance, so it’s easily spotted—it’s something i couldn’t care less if i wasn’t a father. The interior of the car is in gray and silver, with chromed gearshift. The state of the art, if you ask me.
Now, i know i could have bought so much more for that value. Maybe i should have spent this money to buy my kid tons of chocolate, but you don’t buy your son 1/24 model every day! What’s the most important and a real joy for a parent—Luka will have a great time playing with it. At least ‘till his birthday, when grandma and grandpa will probably buy him a bike.

The day I can just “go to the store and pick” a 911 Turbo (which has always been my dream car) will be the day my life is complete.
I’m so incredibly jealous. :)

Blah, moga si kupiti novi Ford Mustang :)
Sretno ti sa tankanjem goriva, al ako si ima love za njega, imat ćeš i za gorivo ;)
Čestitam, uživaj!

Izgleda da niko nije pročitao poslednji pasus, osim par pažljivijih čitalaca.

LOL! I thought there was something odd about it, but I went through it quickly… Nice one, Marko :)

Pošteno si me nasmijao, svaka čast. Čak sam na trenutak pomislio: “hm, sad mi ništa nije jasno” Odličan članak.
Nadam se da je Luki bolje i prenesi mu srdačne pozdrave i čestitke od Dore.
