Well..... today my 16 year old daughter goes for he driving test. "> From there it's off to school. I bought her a Corvette starter car (Saturn GM's other plastic car) I know once she starts driving the wheels on the car go round and round, round and round. (been here before with her sis)
Just thought I would drop you a line in the advent you had loved ones in Indiana that you wanted to warn.
By the way did I mention she is a blond? cilrah38730.1921759259

Thanks for the warning Larry, I'll be sure to stay off the roads in Indiana for a few years

Hell my sons been driving for a year now, and heck hes only had two accidents   Only one was his fault though, but thats still one too many.

Yep, it's now Offical.. .. Watched her drive away from the house leaving me standing in the rain watchin. Sad day But on the other hand no more waiting in the truck for half an hour at a time for her to be picked up

Mark,

I'm sure you'll be safe as long as your in the vette or pullin the vette. She has a pretty high reverance for these cars after seeing them in the everyday since her eyes 1st opened up.

Joel,

I told her to watch out if she see's any old dudes with Texas plates. There might be a chance her car could be involved in a whack attack if the driver is headin towards the back!

Ha-ha.... I'm glad I set the bar for teenage drivers. So far no teen has been able to get up to my bar. 2 years.. no accidents. And I guess you could consider me an 'aggresive driver' however I obey every law, and I do drive saftly (oxymoron) I guess you have to see my driving to understand. Lets just say that with everyone else here in Vegas doing 50 in a 70 is a hazard to me. If its 70, I'm doin 70!

My daughter is in drivers ed right now. We have a very good understanding when it comes to the vette. LOOK but DON'T DRIVE.  She gets to learn on our van which is all ready beat up.

I am thinking about signing her up for some advanced training on a skid pad once she gets her lic. They hold it at Portland International Raceway. We get a fair amount of snow and ice here in central Washington so I thought it might be a good investment.

Yeah, my oldest daughter 1st learned to drive in an 89 coupe. That kinda spoiled her. The day she got her drivers license she ran the 76 up on the curb on the way back.
I had just got the motor back together a couple of weeks before. It was bone stock and painted silver on top black on the bottom. (Hence the license plate "BAKNBLAK")
Messed up the beauty rings on that side. It was really my fault I should'nt have let her drive it. (She is only 5'1" & had a tough time seein over the wheel.)
She's 21 now and never had an accident. So Louis now has a goal...
