ORIGINAL: Jfsram

The no so obvious problem with racing with the family in the car is the lesson it teaches them.

Aside from the danger you put them in. That's for you to decide at the time. A little throttle here and there or a small burnout. That's usually not going to kill anyone.

Picture this. Kids see Daddy racing. Pick up the adrenaline rush, just like Dad is getting. When it's time for them to drive (16 years old). They were think it's ok to street race. . . . and there is the difference. We do it and we know it wrong. They will do it because Daddy used to do it. Difference , yes.
my dad never raced a day in his life nor did anything more than change oil/plugs/wires/filter....look at me

i have friends who's dad's (and bro's in two cases)are MY car buddies. i go to the track with them and turn wrenches with them. a few of their sons....my friends...don't give a crap about cars as long as it gets them from a to b. point is your theory has flaws

Every theory has flaws. Just trying to open your mind a bit.

I am not an angel who sets examples. I myself have trouble resisting the urge to street race with the family in the car. I try not to do it and also urge others not to do it.
