What good is being a parent if you can't embarrass your kids as often or as long as possible?
Sorta like Whiskey Plates?
Lee

HA...I already told my kids that we would get them one of those "Smart Cars" that look like a clown car and go about 60, floored. They'll get great gas mileage, but will be too embarassed to drive.
Also, I want the age of consent for sex to be raised to "after their mother is dead". Can we work on that one, too?
See now were on the same page - My dad owned a gas station after starting off with a 68 Ford Torino Coupe, and then moving up to the big block of a 72 Plymouth Fury Sports Coup (BIG BACK SEAT!)
my dad did the "smart car" thing of the 70's and I ended up driving this.....
Hey, but it had the 3 speed with the denim interior package
Didn't that car also have the extra feature of
exploding on impact? Or was that the Pinto?
My parents gave us a giant Impala that was so huge that I continually backed into things I couldn't see. A skill my husband will say I have until this day!

All you "geezers" make me laugh.
I will say that I used to drive a lot faster than I do now, but it seems to take me the same amount of time as before. Maybe my parents were really on to something...
And Ogee, you can always PM me their phone # and I'll have a stern talking to them about driving safety.

Like a Nightmare and for all the ERE types out there I just got the new how to "Hunt like Dick Cheney" video.
Seriously though drivivg at 16 is alright with me, as long as there well trained. My girls have been driving since 12, its never too early to stress the importance of a designated driver.

I'm imagining a 12 year old girl driving a cabbed John Deer tractor out of town with Ogee strapped over the engine housing pointing and shouting, " I am King of all I survey!"
