Daughter wants to drive

That is very cool Chuck.

If you give her lessons, take some pictures & send them to me, please?

For the magazine.

George

Will do George, should be fun. Iam going to wait several months before lessons begin. Daniella needs some clutch and stick time in a "regular car" before she attempts to tame the beast. Chuck

That is cool. From the time my daughter could first recognize cars, the Pantera was that awesome car gathering dust in Grandpa's garage. It was the best-looking car in the world and she was bound and determined to own it someday. Now, at 22, my daughter drives a VW Rabbit. I hope you do better with yours.

Heck, my daughter didn't want to drive it until she was 19. She found out all the cute boys really liked my car. But now she has figured out they only want to use her to get the car, so she doesn't want to drive it anymore.

My son just got his drivers permit yesterday and all his friends want to know "when is he going to get to take the Pantera out?" When I finally stopped laughing at them, I told them when he's 35! And maybe on prom night his senior year (we'll see).

My 11 year old daughter wants me to finish restoring my Mustang so she can drive it when she gets her license. Ha! I think she needs to start saving for a moped.

A 16 year old male with a Pantera as one of the family cars!! I can't wait to see the car insurance premium. At least you reside in a state with a reputation for low car insurance premiums. LOL

FWIW, my annual insurance bill just went up by over $1,000 per year now that my son has his drivers permit. Despite the fact that he is NOT a driver on the Pantera, the insurance went up on it (and all my cars) because he can access the car and 'might' drive it. As a matter of fact, my wife's sister snuck out with my in-law's car before she had her license and got into an accident.

Chuck,
grapefruits, Dude,I want to see before and after photos... LOL
Good Luck.

My Son on prom night 2002!

Daniella has been terrorizing the neighborhood for years in her 6hp go cart. She is fearless on four wheels. Whats another 300hp....LOL Chuck

These are the times that I'm glad that I don't have kids . . . and a wife who lets me buy toys but just likes to ride in them and not drive them! Life is good!

You got off easy!! mine went up 3,000.!!

Yikes! Guess you have both more and nicer cars in your garage than I have. My daughter will get her permit at this same time next year too, so I expect another sizeable increase.

Great pic of your son with the Pantera DeTom! I be he was more interested in the car than his date! So, how long was the burn out he did for his buddies that night???

Garth, that was his date. He told everyone his prom date was black and weighed 3000 pounds. He did indeed do a burnout right in front of the principle, and he still managed to graduate somehow. In another month or so he will graduate from college.

Get real.....you guys know that cars like these are for experinced drivers whe actually paid for them themselves. A man bought a jeep from me for his son. When the son came to pick it up he told me"I'm going to tear this thing up" IT only took a week. Personally I don't want to drive someone elses car.
