I was at a show yesterday and saw this mom (nice looking but that did not sway my judgment) pointing the gauges out on another Cobra's dash to her son of about 10 years old. Leaning in and being careful not to touch. I asked her if she had a camera and if so would she like to take a picture of her son sitting in my car. I did not have to twist his arm and the smile on his face sitting strapped into my seat holding the steering wheel was priceless. I then asked if he would like to start it up and take his mom for a spin around the parking lot and he got this serious look on his face and said "no that would be illegal". I tell ya there may be a few bad apples out there but there are plenty of good ones too. The dream has to start somewhere, why not when you see a deserving youngster help encourage it. I hate to say it but a lot of you sound like grouchy old men. But then I haven't had all the bad experiences you have had with ice cream and sticky fingers and such.
