My 19 yr old son has learned the clutch on my car. It's a car to share but most are a bit intimidated and refuse when I offer to let them drive. I am particular who I would offer, believe me.

Before I had plates...(waiting for my SB100 opportunity) my son and I were out cruising a little bonzai run at night. He had literally driven 2 blocks while learning the clutch, a bit rough. We pull up to a 4 way stop sign and a sherriff pulls up at the same time going across the intersection. My son screeches the tires pretty good trying to be as smooth as he can to leave the intersection. I crap my pants, he without his wallet and me without plates or registration. Luckily we cruised on home without incident. I am completely legal now and still enjoy leting him drive. He is 21 now and serving in the US Navy stationed in Kuwait. I can't wait till he gets home.

I know as kids we would never forget the ride in a car like a Cobra. It use to be a great thrill just to have one next to you on the road. Share the unique experience with as many as you can!!!
