If I let my 13 year old son he would sleep in my Nova. I never miss a Lacrosse, Football or Soccer game that they play and as long as it's nice they will always say "let's take the Nova".
For the boys I think it is a very valuable lesson to teach them the love of an automobile and how to respect the power...... and most of all being responsible and knowing when and where it is safe to use the power while having fun. Inevitably you'll always here the young kids say "go fast" or do a burnout" the must be taught that there is a time and a place and a busy road or a neighborhood is not the place. Teach them now and with Gods help they will always hear your words just before they try something stupid and put themselves or others in harms way...... God willing!

I also have two wonderful girls from my first marriage... Sasha is 24 and living in Japan for a year teaching conversational English at an American university... I guess being a military brat wore off on her even though she's not in the military. Megan, 19 is my youngest daughter and still my "baby girl". She's finishing up her sophomore year of college in Nebraska and will probably fight the boys for my Firebird when the time comes! I'm proud to say that my girls are level-headed, self-sufficient, successful Christian women. Now if I can only do as well with my boys... (c:]
