Funny, 'Quality Control' quote from my daughter........

Brought our daughter, Rebecca (12), to work with us today and when I was leaving and walking to the car (Rebecca was allready in and waiting for me) I heard the most horrific grinding sound ever. I looked at the car and wondered WTF was that? Turns out it was her adjusting the seat when it got away from her because the lot is inclined a little. The seat went sliding back and she let go of the release and it ...... well...... took a few gear teeth to stop it. lol Her face had the look of horror as she caught my eye.

Well, I got in and she immediately went to appologizing and asks me if that's how you adjust the seat back and forth. I answer "Yup, you just gotta control the seat with your body". No big deal, so I start the car and I notice her figiting with the side of the seat and she's trying to stretch her neck as high as it will go to see out the car. I ask her what she's doing and she says "I can't see". She had been trying to adjust the seat where she could see out. I explain, that it doesn't adjust up and down. Now she seems a little irritated. So she goes to reach for her seatbelt and can't get to it without turning around, knees in the seat because it wasn't inside of the holder strap. Now she's got a scowel on her face. She doesn't say anything. So I start pulling out of the spot and as I come to the exit of the lot, she hits the window down lever. It makes the tiniest of squeaks as it pulled across the rubber top. I noticed her look up and wondered if I was gonna get a remark about that too but she just holds her head up as high as she can to try and see out the front and I gas on it. She's now trying to sneak her feet underneath herself to get a little higher and I tell her "No, it's unsafe"

I shared all of that to share this.

As a lot of you know, my wife drives a Lexus IS350. Say what you want, it's a great car. Rebecca had never riden in the front seat of my car but Bonnies, many times.

This is the cool part.

As I'm pulling up to the light, still scoweling, she looks at me and says, (I quote word for word)

"Mommies car has all of the nice quality control stuff and yours is just loud and fast"





THANK YOU GM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going in my sig very soon.

"Mommies car has all of the nice quality control stuff and yours is just loud and fast" - Rebecca (12)

Awesome. My kids are 5 and 7 and I am so expecting them to be fully critical of visability, seat adjustments, etc. They are excited now, but they haven't ridden in the car yet. I hope to take delivery this week.

LOVE the story. Thanks for sharing.
