A Visit from a Former Student Driving a 2006 Porsche Cayman S

 

Jake Browning, a former student of mine enrolled in my 2015 Leipzig The Automobile and American Life course paid me a visit this morning. It was a pleasure to see him again, and to catch up on his career. We ended up going to the Cars and Coffee at Austin Landing. The event was incredibly well attended, with plenty of very interesting Porsches and BMWs. To say that "the American Love Affair with the automobile is over" is a distortion of what is happening. There is a very strong subculture with a great number of young people involved and interested.
