I let my little girl pull it out of its hiding spot, as she had begged me to keep it before,so since she got almost straight A's I gave her a treat, wanted to clean it up and shoot some current pics today.

Really cool deal for your daughter!

Let her do a burn out. After all, she DID almost get straight A's.

Did she happen to say how it handled?

Z/28Dan · 02-19-2014, 10:17 PM

I let my little darlings drive my toys too. Does this mean the "For Sale" signs are coming back down?

Cannot expect young people to grow up to responsible young adults if you don't give them any responsibility. I have taught my son (24) since he was 5 years old when he got his first snow machine " the trust is yours to screw up". To date he has never let me down and I have a pile of toys.

I dont mind letting my kids have fun when they earn it,but they also have to earn their own stuff.
I did give my oldest son(24 now) a dodge truck with 44's .a 6inch supension lift and 6inch body lift with all the goodies to make it drive correctly...He started driving my 4x4's/go carts,dirt bikes,and even one of my race cars from the age of 8 which is when i started racing go carts...He saw that truck when he was 12 with a bad bearing in it,when it was towed into my shop after a customer test drove it from a dealer i used to do business with,and blew up the motor ,and begged me for it....So i purchased it and built a beast,and let him drive it with me off road until he earned it(16) by acting older than his yr's .
I believe if you just give kids something they also think they should get something for free.If you let them earn it they grow up to do the same in their own life....

I had a friend driving my ZL1 a while ago. I told him to bang the gas pedal. After a couple minutes he got pulled over!
