Hey, dont laugh. I took the family car for a ride when I was a kid. Somehow I shifted it into neutral and off I was out into the street. Old cars just didnt have the safety designs todays cars do.

What a great shot! It amazes me that you had the presence of mind to get a photo while it was going down. He sure has the "Oh S**t" look on his face! You may have gotten there just in time, but I think he was gonna have a tough time getting that clutch pedal to the floor

Truly a scrapbook shot there. Priceless!

I can see a fast forward 15-16 years, looking back same look on his face photo. Hopefully you will still have the car.

My Mom had a '75 When I was that age... my father made her sell it! I was so pissed when I found out. Hold on to it

Great Picture

Hi 9192,
He might actually be a pretty good driver….. he needs both hands on the steering wheel….. so no phone in one of them!
You really did capture the moment and the look!
Regards,
Alan

What a great photo! If he starts tying long objects to his right foot, you may have to have a talk with the boy.
