Little guy's first ride
Took my 17-month old out on Saturday for his first ride in a Corvette. We had a blast - next time the tops are coming off.
We also visited the Penske Racing Museum in Scottsdale - Very Cool place.

Very cute. I didn't realize Simpson made child safety seats. Makes sense. Given the way some moms drive, the kids should also be wearing Nomex, Snell rated helmet, and a HANS device.

My earliest memories (of three years old) are ridding in my Mom's '72 with the top down. I'd sit on the "hump" w/ my feet on the e-brake console, elbows on the seats.
The good ole days....no bike helmets, electrical outlet covers, car seats, seat belt laws, remote controls. You could actually fight somebody in the neighborhood (only to become best friends later that week). Mom would let me stay up late to watch Dukes Of Hazzard at 9PM.
The good old days!!!

For those that are old enough, remember, as kids, when we used to ride in cars back in the day? Those days before the car seat. I can remember taking road trips and bouncing all around the back seat unstrapped. Also, I remember taking naps on the back dash under the rear window. The cars all had lap but no shoulder belts so that if you got in accident, you would simply bend in half and your head would hit the dash/steering wheel anyway.

My aunt used to get pissed cuz me and my cousins would be goofing around in the back seat. She's slam the brakes on and we'd bounce off the back off the bench seat in her Plymouth Velare (sp). Doesn't have the same effect when kids are strapped in their car seats, but gets the point across. (So I'm told!)
