would you let your...

[Fr33way]

he asked so i'm giving my opinion. why wouldn't you let an 18yr old out with your c5 QD?

It's not what does or does not happen but what *could* happen in the eyes of a parent man. Honestly it's not even about the car, maybe just the rare oppurtunity that leads to an even more rare chance of any kind of incident and as a parent you don't just give those chances away.

[redrumracer]

sure i dont see why not.

Thats a good point

[Elbow]

she said it was slow and won't even go 60mph!

no really, i clutch kicked 1st, grabbed second and ran it to 70mph. True, it was only at like 8psi, but she said the VW she rode in the other day was faster.

I was gonna say yes until I read this. You clutch kicked it??

[Leisa]

I would say yes.. why not.. he is used to driving those types of cars. Is he trustworthy?

[KPowerEP3]

Oh and BTW, Hell no I wouldn't. My dad made that mistake when he had his Millenium Yellow 03 C5Z, know how I beat on that car the couple times he let me take it when I was 17-18, I wouldn't be caught dead doing that.

[Kevykev]

Simple answer


_O!!!



first letter is an "N"

[Leadfoot_mf]

no

[DieselNuts]

I found a little computer moniter made for bimmers that will record the way it has been driven (rpms, mph, stuff like that). If I were the father in this position, I would find a way to make this work on the vette, or find something similar.

If the 18yr old is responsible enough, then I would say yes, but honestly, I would probably follow him in a friends car to make sure he drives it the way he says he will.

[keevo54]

Sure he could prolly handle the car but with a hot(hopefully) piece of ass in the car, he will more than likely do something stupid to impress her and it will prolly not have a happy ending

[Ran]

No wrecks or anything? Well, there's a first time for everything. Like hell I'd let it happen in my car. lol

[mad3nch1na]

Hell freaking yea, you DO want him to get laid now...

[MistaCee]

yeah, but prolly better to take a limo if you wanna ball.

Hell nah. Im taking my uncles 300c srt8 to prom. Driving a nice car rather than riding in a nice car is better to me

[man]

I say no. It's a huge hassle and 20x less pimp than it actually sounds. Going with friends is always the best way to go. The C5 will get you less action and make you look like a douche bag

How is that?

[JITB]

hell naw... if u gettin it for some *****... **** that *****.. i pulled girls in my protege...lol u shouldnt need a vette . ur gonna wrap that **** around a tree, tryin to show off..

[Vayda]

If it's his junior prom, then no. he can go with his friends and if he keeps the good record up he can have it for his senior prom.

If it's his senior prom, then sure, what the hell.

[mad3nch1na]

If his son is 18 years old and not a senior, I don't think he should be going to prom at all...

Hit the Books NiKKA

[Vayda]

18 at junior prom isn't unreasonable. The kid could have been held back in like, elementary school, or have one of those funky birthdays where he's older than everyone else in his class, or they could have moved from somewhere else...lots of possibilities.

And i love your sig.

[Alan®]

hmmm idk. A friend of mine was gonna let me borrow his supra but my dad said no simply because it's not the kid you have to worry about so much as the other idiots on the road especially on prom night. So if I had to make a quick decision the answer it would be no.

[Catnip]

naw, im a senior.

I wouldnt wrap it around a tree, wtf? Not the fastest I would have driven. I just said those were the cars I've daily driven.

[JITB]

u forgot to factor in the fact of the girl in the passenger seat, u already said u tried to impress in the eclipse...

That is understandable, hell, I had the opportunity to take a Maseratti Quattroporte but my father said he rather have me take a Limo. He said he didn't want me to drink and drive since I was allowed to drink that night.

All I thought about when I read this thread was the opening scene of F&F 3

LOL, the vette would get ripped a new one by the viper though

[Julio]

Whats so special about a c5 vette?

[collins]

here's teh way i see it... when i eventually decide to have kids, there will be a strong bond between father/son (assuming its a boy) and he will know the consequences of his actions BEFORE he ever sits his ass in the driver seat... and by that he will be way to scared to even park too close to someone... being that it would be a trusting situation and he'd be more scared of me than the wraith of God, i say sure!





seriously tho, if the trust is there, i say absolutely. if its not... no way in hell.

What you describe is pretty much what I have with my dad. He's never denied me the opportunity to drive any of our families cars (granted none as fast as a C5), but I fully understood that I'd be in deep ish if something happened. Hell, for the first few years I had my license he told me if I got a speeding ticket (in my car) I'd lose my driving privledges and he'd make me start taking the school bus.

That being said, me and my Dad are extremely close, and I was never scared of him so to say, but I definitely understood there would be consequences for me doing stupid sh*t.

Seriously, my dad was the same way till last semester when I got three tickets. Now they wanna get rid of my POS and put me in an SUV, lol.

[Catnip]

That's true, but I don't abuse other peoples cars. Besides, not only was that scenario in my car, but that was going to happen if a girl was in the car or not.
i usually do comfort driving with a girl in the car anyways.

I talked to my dad about it tonight, and he said I probably will be able to. I told him he can put a throttle stop at 1/32 throttle and beat me if anything happened to it. lol

[quickdodge®]

(assuming its a boy)

Eve if your child had a wang, it'd probably still be female.

and he will know the consequences of his actions BEFORE he ever sits his ass in the driver seat..

Who the fucc are you to reprimand someone for their "mistakes" behind the wheel when you do what you do? You're the last person that should be instilling punishment for driving actions. Fuccing hypocrite is what that is. Later, QD.
