Well, I don't know you, JWillis. I lurk here once in a while and I have to say, nobody knows your son like you do. Sometimes you have to show your kids you trust them. If he does okay and doesn't mess up it'll pay off for both of you. If he messes up, then I hope it's not too bad.

I have a grown up daughter (29) who I would've trusted with my Z if I'd had it when she was in HS. She was/is someone I would trust with my life. Not that she didn't have a good time. She drank some in HS and a lot in college but she kept out of trouble and never drove after drinking (that I know of -- at least she never got caught). It'll be a lot of fun for him and his date. All the other guys are going to eat their hearts out. He doesn't have to say anything about the rev limiter.

Dad gave me the keys to his '90 Z32-TT many times when I went on dates. It was fun. Honestly, my dates never cared. However, I used to take my '87 200SX out. I stopped hearing from one girl after a short night out. A different girl bailed on me after she dropped me off after classes to get my car so we could meet up for lunch. Then came the 350Z and 370Z.... well it's still not good enough because it's not a luxury car or the girls would look down on me for driving a sports car. Tough crowd. O_o

Tell your son to have fun. You know him better than all of us. I took care of my dad's car the best I could whenever I had the keys to it.

Especially your own father and his property. I drove my fathers car to prom and failure was not an option for me. I would still carry the shame had I totalled or damaged it.

You might miss the car but it would have never given you the memories you will have of these times! When he is driving himself you can always drive a sports car again if you want. It goes way faster than you think!

Indeed, that article says the Lambo crossed the center median of a divided four-lane.

There were also no children involved.

If this is your concern, your children should *never* actually drive. Ever. Or be in a car. At all. Or moving vehicle near other vehicles. Or near any other moving vehicles. Or go outside.

I had a similar situation with my son on prom night, except that he didn't ask for the Z, I offered it to him. I had just bought it at the time, so it was no easy decision!

That was 4 years ago, and he still talks about it.
