He's a good kid.
Then doesn’t he deserve a proper haircut?
Ooooh. Big bad Fly Over Man can pick on a 7yr old. Oooooh.
Gonna laugh about his Birks next?
Actually his hair is the best way to get him to do what he is told. He starts getting bitchy and I just tell him I'm gonna go get the clippers. He's only held out long enough for me to get them plugged in once.

Is that your kid??
No I'm just a creepy guy running around taking pictures of strange kids.
I was just going to compliment you as a parent for letting the kid wear his hair anyway he wants, which is diametrically opposed to another sentiment expressed above.

I like how this is a place for a specific brand of car nerds and when shown a picture of probably $600k worth of cars we are focusing on the kid in one pic...

Even Suncoast Porsche says it's a really thang! Thought you guys were just full of it. My apologies...
Center Cap Alignment
Our yearly reminder! Yes, this is a real thing. The emblem on your wheel should be pointing at the valve stem. This is a long tradition for Porsche, check your caps and make sure they're pointing in the right direction.

How do you get the valve stem out to line it up with the cap, mine won't budge

$600k! That must be one expensive pickup truck! Seriously, about the cars they are nice. I am shocked that someone would let them set outside. Must be a very nice neighborhood with walls, gates and around the clock security patrols(however it appears you got in). I live in medium town mid-America and would never do that. Some idiot would pry off the badges or knock the rear view mirrors off with a baseball bat. In addition we get crap like baseball sized hail around here occasionally. I could just hear the call to the insurance company: "Yeah so I got hail damage on my newish GT3 last night because I left it parked outside." Response: "AH HAHHAHHAHHAHHAH...CLICK..."

You could always drill a new hole in your wheels that line up with the emblem and install a new valve stem. Then run a bolt with silicon in the previous holes.

Why do you think people like the Sport Design wheels so much? It's certainly not for the 40 extra hours it takes to clean each wheel!
