thats why i always leave it in neutral when i park.
unless im on a really steep hill i dont see the point. the handbrake takes care of keeping it in place.
and hmm.. punishment? force him to get a job and pay the differences of everything. deductibles, increased rates, etc. something sucky too. like gas station bathroom cleaner.
Looks more like the garage door took more of the punishment. But being a Porsche that will be a hefty fee to get the paint fixed. I would say why would you let your son play around in your 180k dollar car without you there? I would say its the dads fault, when I have a kid and a 180k dollar car (HAHA) they would not be playing around inside of it, inside a garage. Chaulk one up to a dumb a$$ dad.
Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.
My son is now 23 yrs old. While I don't have a $186,000 Porsche, I did get the RX8 when he was 17. The author handled the situation correctly. He had to yell at the kid. That is to be expected. But, it was an accident. The kid didn't intend to drive the car. That's why we have insurance, to cover accidents.
