an afternoon he won't soon forget

I feel like that 11 year old boy every time I get into my Pantera!

This story reminds me of the first ride I gave my daughter at age 13.

She said to me while we are driving, "How can you hear any sirens with all of that noise behind your seat?"

I still don't have an answer.

She doesn't understand it and neither do the police.

Great thing to do...

Reminds me of my ride as a kid...

I think every owner should do this at least once. After you do it once, you will probably want to do it again.

I had a PI ball cap & tee shirt for him to wear. We took some spirited blasts down some back roads. He sat in amazement, hardly believing this was happening, grinning ear to ear. Its an afternoon that he'll remember for a long time.

Heck yeah. My kids have been using rides in my car to bribe other kids for years now. Kids love the car even more than adults. I did have my seats covered in heavy clear vynil overcoat for a reason you know. Yep, some actualy do still wet their pants. But then again so have a few adults who have riden in the car. I find that most people don't mind going fast in a straight line, but high speed cornering usualy scares the living... well you know what, out of them. If you are going to give lots of rides, Vynil seatcovers pay for themselves real quick. Apolstery cleaner sure adds up quick.

When I was about 13 I was hichicking and got picked up by some crazy dude in a vette, and he went through the 4gears and 4 turns with smoke inside the car. That was before the P cars. It made me crave the power, and has led to a life of divorce...spent money....now i'm hanging at an internet bar. That's just 'cause it's raining!!

So LPB, sports cars have led you to a life of corruption and squander?

Cool, me too dude!

I have spent most my money on cars, women, and booze, the rest I just wasted...
