So Jr. driving reminded me of an interesting thought.
When your child learns to drive, do you teach them how to do donuts? My thoughts are, they are going to do them anyway, I might as show them how so they don't tear a bunch of shit up or hurt themselves. Your thoughts?

I'm wondering how many of these ravens it would take to bring down one these small planes at the airport I'm sitting at
Oh did you want my thoughts on donuts? Apple fritter. But no idea how to do that in a car.

By all means...teach donuts. Teach neutral-drops too. Great way to tear up the pos you bought them for their birthday. Saves on gas and insurance after the u-joints go. Tell them the tranny is toasted.

no car will be given to any of my kids, and teaching them how to handle a donut, drift and slides will likely save their asses come winter

Teach em the J hook. Never know when you'll need to back up and get in a hurry. Girlfriends dad may storm outta the house after Jr one day with grandpas old sxs. He'll have to get outta dodge quick

that lesson will come right after the how to beat the pit maneuver lesson, that one is crucial

No better way to teach them how to correct a slide on wet road, or as Jehler said the winter.

I actually googled how to beat the pit maneuver. Only options take practice

I think with a good parking brake I could get out of it and end up behind you in a hurry

probably the easiest method but we'd just end up ramming the side of your car

Go karts, motorcycles, and in my case, a 3 wheeler, are great tools to start at a young age. Come driving time its second nature.

I think you could get sued for that. And be sure you don't ask for identification.

50/50 chance, and better than upside down in the ditch

Ha! Me too. That and a 90. Wasn't until later after I was older that my folks could afford nice toys for my younger brothers. But those damn things could climb. Two wheel jeeps
