Can you imagine?
Today I got some kids seling chokolade bars on my door to gain money for their future education for college. I bought the full set and then the only boy in the group asked about my education and if there is anyu benefits. I wanted to show him my cars and advice him about the benefits of having yoursel educatad.
I showed him my carage and I had just 4 hours ago polished my C5.
Guy fainted when he saw it!!!
Damn the boy fainted!!!!
Luckily I know CPR and he came back to live.
This is awesome!!!!!!!
Somebody faints seeing the vet, and especially -99 FRC!!!
I feel lucky and priviledged!!!

I had a similar story, but perhaps not as "positively inspirational" as yours. I'll try my best to not offend anyone but here goes...
To begin, I am non-religious. So naturally I get a little annoyed when somebody comes to my door trying to convert me to religion ABC or XYZ. So one day, I'm tooling around outside my friends house and a couple pedestrians walk up and advise me they wish to show me the way to enlightenment and success, yada yada. I don't know which religion or school of thought they were from but I was trying to show them I'm not interested. They kept insisting that I could be so much more successful and happy than I was. Which I figured was pretty presumptuous of them.
Finally I said, "follow me" and led them around to my friend's garage. In it sat $500,000 worth of cars. I told them that I am happy and successful enough, and that perhaps they ought to follow my example.
Their jaws dropped and they couldn't say anything further... and they slowly walked off. Granted they were my friend's cars and not mine, but still... I got a good laugh, and when my friend showed up 10 minutes later I of course told him and he got a good chuckle out of it as well.

I hope you told him that in addition to your education that if he can do well with spelling and grammar he can get a Lamborghini.
