[00:00] The time has come to move on. This is my 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, and I'm selling it on Cars and Bids with no reserves.
[00:12] I want to talk about why I'm selling. This was my kids' first fast car. My kids are little enough that I can take them in the back seat, and this was the first car they ever really had the experience of going fast in a car.
[00:26] And so you might be surprised that I'm already selling it after only having it for a year, and especially making those cool family memories in it. A big part of the reason is I want my kids to enjoy and experience fast cars,
[00:40] but I'm not so obsessed with this particular car that I want this to be like their only fast car experience as they grow up. In fact, I have an entire list of cool fast cars with back seats
[00:54] that I kind of want to cycle through. and buy new ones as my kids get older. And so, as far as I'm concerned, we had a great run. We did it for a full year and introduced my kids to fast cars, and now on to the next one.
[01:07] And in a year, it'll be on to the one after that as I kind of go through my list of cool, fun, backseat family cars that I can use with my family. I will always cherish the memory of having the Kills Bugs fast car
[01:21] and having my kids screaming in the back going fast in Daddy's first fast car. you
