My prob is my 2 girls 7 and 13 want seat time...  Do they make a 1 passenger.. lol...  70 degrees?!?! we were 80 on wed and 9 inches of solid ice fri/sat..  Im down another few more weeks..

I got out last Thursday, it was close to 80. Tops off and having fun. Today it is 40 with 3 inches of ice on the ground.

My 16 yr old daughter walks into the garage and says my car is beautiful (vette) and mom's car is beautiful (94 BMW 325is) I want one of them not (beater 96 Aerostar Van). I told her it only took me 47 yrs to get the vette so she might have to wait a while. I did promise her though, if she can keep a clean driving record and good grades I would buy her something. So this summer I will start looking for a mid 90's mustang with a v6, no v8's for her, she likes to use the power.

It won't be long before they'll want the keys to the Vette instead of just a ride to school.

I know!  And that scares the #(@& out of me.  I believe that giving young drivers the keys to a sports car is like handing a little kid a loaded gun!  It's just not a good idea...  Once they have a few miles under their belt, I will let them drive it as long as Mike or I are in the passenger seat.  Their already arguing over who gets it when I'm dead...  I told them I was going to be burried in it .  (Not really; I couldn't do that to a Vette!)

I have a 1966 MGB that I have let my daughter drive while I am a passenger(never the vette). Plus it is teaching her how to drive a stick. We are in a small town so not much traffic to worry about. She still has not mastered the technique of driving a manual. We are at a light waiting for traffic to clear (2 cars) so she can turn left. Just as the 2nd car clears (its the police) she revs the engine up and drops the clutch. Does a little burn out with this 4 cyl. The cop must have figured it was a rookie cause he didn't come after us. At the next light a couple pulls along side in there new dodge magnum(they were behind us at the light) and asks my daughter if we have a Hemi under the hood.

Right after my son said I should sell the Gold Thang for a Lincoln........he asked if he could drive it.  Go figure!
