Great job Dad

Both these young people will never forget the night, including taking "the Vette" to Prom.

Good for you !!!

We don't have children, so it's easy for me to REALLY enjoy reading this, but I think back to my Prom and I wasn't quite so fortunate...... of course, I'm older than I care to remember. I think my Dad offered to drive me and my date to a nice restaurant and act like our driver..... go figure

I actually rented a c4 for my prom, I drove it very responsibly. I was probably the only sober person that night, I wanted to be able to drive the car, and be ready to drive it. In the end, the vette led to me being the most responsible person at the prom.

Depends on the kid if they can handle the temptation of all that power. One of my best friends growing up used to get to drive his dads Viper and Vette all the time. It wasn't uncommon to see him out cruising around town in one of them. He never raced it or dogged the cars. In fact the only time he did is when his dad was with him encouraging him.

You did a really great thing for the kids and I'm sure they will remember it for a lifetime. Congratulations to you for what you did and the feelings you have for the kids. My children can have any of my cars whenever they want and they can use them for whatever. They are only yours (the kids) for a short time in your lifespan, and a car can always be replaced. Children are the most important thing in this life.

Yes, my daughter has proven she's a good and responsible driver. If this had not been the case then I wouldn't have handed over the keys.

Actually not nervous at all. My wife and I went to a movie and never thought about it more than a second or two. I knew the car was in good hands.

Truer words were never spoken. Here's our oldest son at his senior prom four years ago in my Prowler.

Four years later (last June) he died from a swimming accident. He loved the car and respected it. We had great memories together in it and I know he appreciated the trust I put in him letting him drive it.

Her poor date probably wanted to drive so bad!

Sorry for your loss....

Very cool thread. Nice counterpart to all the guys that post on here about how it's crazy to let your kids drive your cars. My dad let me drive his all the time growing up and it motivated me to get my own. Way to go for sure.

Memories are what it's all about! I would have let my daughter drive mine in a heartbeat if not for the two wrecks she had when she was 16. She's 19 now but insurance is too high to take a chance.
