Hello.

I came home from work one day shortly after my son had began to learn to
drive and found a pair of skid marks in my driveway that went up short of my
project Vanagon and the rear bumper was a bit more tweaked than usual.  I
later found after intense interrogation that my son had been receiving
driving instructions from my wife in my other daily driver Vanagon and had
chose the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal until it was too late
to properly stop.

It is only a van.  It is only a van.  It is only a van.  Who am I kidding.
My Vanagon is my mistress!

With my oldest daughter rapidly approaching driving age, I'm wondering how
many listmembers let their kids drive their vans. I don't think I could
bring myself to it, but I am curious if anyone else is this trusting.
