Yesterday afternoon after church I decided to let my 16 year old daughter
drive Sparky. She is about 5'-7" and weighs all of 110 pounds. She has been
asking for a while and it seemed like the right time.
After a few quick lessons it was off down the street. I was riding shotgun,
wishing I had one of those brakes the driving instructors have on the
passenger side.
After a few times forgeting to push the clutch in at stop signs and some
serious jumping on take off, she was doing pretty good.
But, when we got home and she tried to turn in the driveway, push the clutch
in, downshift, put the brakes on, give it a little gas to go up the hill, we
started jerking and Sparky starting jumping, I was laughing, she was laughing
and Sparky was headed for the bushes. Luckily, Sparky died and we were left
crying from laughing so hard.
No damage done, one good memory.
