I don't blame the kid at all. If my dad asked me if I wanted a brand new Vette I'd say HELL YES! Is my dad going to ask me that? HELL NO! First of all, the $$$ isn't there, and even if it was, my parents are too damn smart for that. My dad taught me how to drive. Not only normal driving techniques, but also techniques that put me on the spot. We'd go out in the country and find an empty highway, and he'd make me do all kinds of things to learn how to correct, but not over-correct, etc. He'd set up cones in the road that I'd have to swerve out of the way of and then regain control. All this was done in a '92 Escort, on a flat road, wide shoulders, and a good surface with no one around. This is why my parents trusted me with my Mustang, besides the fact that I put a ton of money, time, and work into it.
