From today's father's day card from my 7-year-old. She got two out of three right. But apparently in her vision my GTI doesn't exist, nor does the rally e30 that I've had her entire life. But I do have a yellow Miata....

So sweet!

I would take this as a sign that you SHOULD have a yellow Miata. :D

I already have one bright-colored sportscar, which is more than enough bright-colored cars for me lol. 

 I did help her learn to read using GRM magazines, and she always made me tell her what all the cars in the mag were (and of course, literally 50% of the cars in a GRM (articles + ads) seems to be a Miata. So I guess it was in her head. 

I have pretty much no desire to own a Miata, short of one with a factory hatchback, which doesn't exist ;) And definitely not a yellow one lol.

oddly, if I ask her if she wants to drive the Porsche when she gets older, she says that the car she wants is a "purple minivan with unicorns and puppies on it"

So....yeah.

when she gets her license 9 years from now, there will be a 2018 GTi waiting for her (6-speed, of course). By then I'll want something new to commute in lol.

At least she didn't label every tool as a hammer.
