Being a role model to your kids trumps everything else in life. At least that's my view. How they see you behaving is EXACTLY how they will behave in life. I want my kids to be productive, upstanding members of society....not ricers.

Well done! I'm sure your first concern was the safety of your son which
also resulted in setting a good example for him. I'm sure I would have
done the same had my son been with me in that situation. Had I been
alone however, it would have been very difficult not to let them see the
butt of the C5 disappear into the horizon. I retired out of there 10 years
ago, that area has really changed since then.

Good luck getting those guys!
