Childhood Dreams

Domenico Di Pietro submitted this photo of his 2003 Grey Porsche Boxster, taken in the Wynwood district in Miami.

“This picture happened by chance,” says Domenico. “I parked my car in Wynwood and, as I was walking away, I realized that young boy on the wall looked like he wanted to play with the car. And it reminded me of my childhood, when I played with diecast model Porsches, dreaming of actually driving one in the future.”

Thank you, Domenico, for sharing your wonderful memory. This mural is called “Boy Playing Marbles” by Dovente and Domenico is right. With the scale of the boy in the mural, the Boxster really does look like a shiny new toy to play with. I’m sure this will bring back memories for many of our members who may have played with diecast models growing up—and I’m sure many of you still have a few in your collection.

Domenico took this photo using an iPhone 13 Pro.
