Daddy can I borrow your car?

[The Beep]

So the kids were over for Sunday dinner yesterday My youngest son asked to take his wife out in the Roadrunner before we ate. Steve is a mechanic and a fellow gear head. He and spends MANY hours working with me and driving my cars. Its never a problem. So off they go, him his wife and our youngest daughter too.

Afterwards...We had dinner. Then for some reason they wanted me to log on to facebook.

Little bastards!! LOL.

[The Beep]

Looks like fun, that's exactly what I would have done.... Exept the video part of course. Lol

 

[bigblock]

My DAD did this to my car. LOL

 

[Cranky]

My dad could and did drive his cars hard too but never did the long smoky burn outs like I did to his 69 440 New Yorker!! He never saw all the smoke and tire tracks but he knew anyways by the way the rear tires looked Sounds like your son knows to keep the rpm at a manageable level and use the torque of the engine.

Concur Cranky you could tell he knew what he was doing and had done it before. Well taught Dad

[shag766]

you know that all depends on whether you had taken your "cialis" or not. he didn't seem to punish it and up around your way there's not much on the roads at time's. lmao

My favorite car is a Challenger TA. I let my son drive it one time. He had the "GALL" to take off in first gear normally and then start speed shifting WHILE I am in the passenger's seat. He was out of that seat as fast as I could get him to stop. He no longer drives my cars. He has his own now. AND it sits for two years after the first weekend he owned it. He killed a perfectly beautifully running 69 340 GTS. So it goes.

When dad bought the 69 NYer, I got the 66 Belvedere. Well, had to pay have of what it was worth. It was yellow with a black vinyl top so it was a decent looking car that stood out and was one of only two in the area. The other was was a Coronet 500 that belonged to an uncle. They looked very much alike tho, so, where ever I went, everyone knew who these two cars belonged to and whenever I did something 'wrong' in the eyes of others, my dad heard about it lol. He told me once but usually told 'them' others that it was my car now and I'm the one taking care of it if I wanted to tear it up, that was my problem. Never killed it tho but did go through the tires kinda fast

My Mom let me drive her 70 Caprice ONCE. She insisted that I leave her seat where she had it since my dad (who had passed) could drive where she set it. Mind you I'm 6'5" she was 5'0" and i'm 5 inches taller than my dad was. I could not move my feet correctly since my knees were in the dash board. After she passed I bought the car from the estate and drove it with the seat All the way back for years.
