Going back to blue. It's a Met. Blue car, so I'm thinking about going to Sonic Blue.

My 89 S-10 didn't have one. Who parks a stick in neutral anyway?

Oh wow Bud that's terrible. I'm glad she wasn't hurt. At least you both will have a good story to tell years later. It ain't funny now but years from now it will be.

Good time to teach her to turn a wrench. You break it, you fix it.

My 9 year old grandson often goes out and starts the vehicles for guys in the morning so they can warm up. Sometimes he even gets to drive them on back roads. Got to start them young.
I bet your daughter was frightened out of her mind when that happened.
Hope you forgive her. She won't forgive herself.

Wow What a b..ch..... When i ever have kids and if they did that to one of my cars(my vette) they would be grounded for life, Bars on the windows, Locked up in there room... not aloud out cept for school or work only.

Why cant kids understand there limits. I could see from the first minute driving what my limits of handling a car would be....... I guess they think there danica patrick and can drive anything like her.....

All three of our daughters wrecked their first cars within 3 weeks of receiving them! Mixing teenagers and cars is like mixing very heavy drinking and driving as the results are usually the same.

They knew better than to touch my Vette as they knew it would mean grounding until they were married!

My sister put my M5 in first gear on accident and did the same thing. luckily no holes in the wall but she did crack my front end really good. Cost about 1500 to fix. I love my sister but

Default More advice

If we remeber our yout, we all did some really stupid things.
(some of us still do). Now is the time to upgrade and do the stuff you wanted to but would rather drive than build. She fells worse than you do. Go easy on her and have her help.
