My little girl
A quick back story. 2009 I tell my wife I want a z06. She says if you bring that car home the birth control goes in the trash. So my kid was born September 7 2010. Two days later I was on my way to a wedding that I was in and threw her on the hood to snap a quick pic. Out of all the cars in the stable this is the one she calls “her car”. She has never wavered on her choice and has kind of grown up in it.
I have been teaching her to drive a little at a time from the time she was 5. She is now 8. Today was a big day because she drove the Z from the entrance to our private road home. I handled the clutch pedal but she did the rest. She is gonna be one of those rare kids that can drive a manual.

Wonderful story and beautiful daughter. You are raising her right! I taught all my kids to drive manuals too.

Best thread on the C5 general fourm!
I attempted to teach my daughter to drive a stick. She wasn't pleased with the results but I bet she could drive one if she had to.
I also tried teaching Jersey but she wasn't interested
