Thread: Yes you can take the car son/daughter

Has anyone seen this? I've known about it for a while but the demo is pretty cool...it would deffinately make me feel better about letting any future children take the car on a date (that won't be for about 20 years though :P)

stupid me...i forgot to post the link :-\

Still...

anybody that shows up to take my daughter out on a date (15 years from now...) will find me in the living room honing up an array of straight razors, with a shotgun across my knees. And I'll invite the young man in to discuss having her back home promptly at 7:30!

As long as the people who own the car are in charge of these kinds of features, I dont mind. When they become mandated by government, I dont like it. A good idea for parents of teenage drivers.

I am not ready to worry about this yet. At this point, I worry about my daughter playing in the dog's water bowl. (She's 8 months old).
I can't imagine what parents go through when they hand their kid car keys, or worse, when some other kid shows up to frive them somewhere. I know how I will try to raise my daughter and teach her responsibility, but that other kid...I don't like the looks of him....

I think it's a great idea, as like nun2sharp said, as long as it is up to the parents, not the government.

That God I don't have to be the kid that deals with this.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I was a speed demon in high school. Now, it would have been embarrassing as hell, but to be honest, i am lucky to be alive.

I never had the issue of borrowing the parents' car. I bought my first car when I was 15 and paid for the insurance myself on my own plan (at around $1600 a year). Learned to drive standard on that car and it's still with me seven years later. Sorry, got a little there.

I had a veterinarian friend with a beautiful 16-year old daughter. When the boys came to pick her for a date, he said, "Remember that I castrate dogs for a living".

I have two daughters who are now 25 and 28. When they're little you fantasize about the shotgun in the closet ... but then puberty arrives and turns them into b*tches and you realize that you'll be very grateful to anyone who'll take them off your hands.
