My 17 year old son just asked to take my car to prom

JWillis72, You and I were alike when young and our sons are also very similar. He's graduating with his engineering degree next month. They probably came out fine because we new what **** to look out for and steer them clear of that.

For his senior prom, I offered him the use of my G35 Coupe (only let him drive it with me along a couple of times prior). Thought he'd jump at the opportunity. He said thanks but went to the prom on a double date in his friends beat up Civic. Now I wonder if I raised him right???

I was a little older (18-20) but my dad would let me borrow his 350Z all the time if he wasn't using it. I didn't really do anything stupid in it though as it wasn't my car. I enjoyed the extra power but I did not speed excessively or anything like that. I drove my own cars much worse than his.

The main reason I was eager to drive it back then was my car was kind of a POS (1978 280Z with no power steering, no A/C, no ABS, crappy headlights, etc...) and really sucked driving in the rain or bad weather. Once I got a new car (2006 Subaru Impreza, non-turbo) and it was actually a nice/new car I barely drove my dad's 350z after that.
