Let me just issue a disclaimer here. I'm not bitter that I've never been behind the wheel of a Porsche. I am a country girl who still can't drive a stick. So there.
OK, so I'm a teensy weensy bit jealous of nine-year-old Brooklyn Beckham. Soccer playing hottie David Beckham and Posh Spice wife Victoria have purchased their oldest child his own Porsche. Don't worry, it's a miniature version of the real thing.
And it comes with a miniature pricetag - just $72,610.
Yup, it's an absolute bargain when you consider the economy, and the fact that this baby is handmade, with a honest-to-pollution-ess diesel engine. Not that they'd worry anyway - docs checking Becks out to make sure he's good for his loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy to Italy's AC Milan promise he is still in good enough shape to be bending the ball come World Cup 2014.
I am a big Beckham fan; made sure I made it to his first showing in the Meadowlands when he came here with the Galaxy. Still, this one has me betwixt and between. He's nine (about to be ten in March), and he's been given a diesel powered one-seater worth more than what I have left on my mortgage.
Throw the economics out of it, and I still think I'd be wary of giving a nine-year-old something with this kind of power (how cute he looks inside of it, aside). A diesel engine is not exactly your Power Wheels battery.
Am I just overreacting? Peevish because I don't have a Porsche?
