5.0 disease about to spread
so my daughter is 16 in november.
when she got her permit last summer i told her that my requirements to get her full license were these...
1) must be able to do an oil change. (if she wants to spend the money to let someone do it.. thats her choice, but not out of ignorance of how to do it)
2) must be able to change a tire (a cute little blonde should NOT be stranded at midnight ANYWHERE !!!)
3) parallel park
4) drive a stick PROFICIENTLY
so here we are.... my t5 is in dire need of rebuild, and the clutch is most assuredly close to done.
so we's gonna do a little "aggressive driving 101" in the church parking lot for a while b4 we go hit the local cruise spots. i'd like so see my 15 yr old daughter spank on some camaro a$$ just to rub it in even more
hey getting old aint so bad after all......

Ah. My girlfriend that I have now is always helping me with the 5.0. She said she's loved them since she first saw and that's really how we started talking.
How does it make you feel that she will be driving your car? Nervous at all? Said girlfriend wants to start driving my car and learning how to do the things I do but I'm anxious about it for some reason. Maybe the fear of her wrecking my car or the fear of blood loss from my head if she drives the car well. <3

just knowing how unsafe they are in accidents makes me parinoid he would wrap it around a tree.

on a side note.. my buddy is currently doing a c4 swap AND a 460 swap in his '95
he had a tko and 518 hp 347, but his wife decided she wanted to start driving it too. so he's all about it

Thats awesome man! Wish my dad would have taken me out to drive one. He isnt a car guy so youtube was my driving lesson since I didnt know how to drive a manual.
Kinda funny, my dad wants to drive my car and im scared to let him. haha
