    Smile First Time

    My sons first time driving the roadster. He has never driven a stick before. Quite the car to learn to drive a stick. I remember learning to drive a stick in a '79 Honda Civic. Sometimes life just isn't fair! I love you son!

    Great Memories for both of you! My 16 yr old son drives a Cummins 5 speed but under estimated the power of a healthy 347 5-speed 65 Mustang I've had for 35 yrs. Wished I had video taped it.

    Some guys really do have all the luck! My first time behind the wheel-a 1957 Chevy wrecker (6 cyl, three speed in the floor) with chalky red paint and big rust holes in the fenders. I guess that didn't really matter at the time. I remember smiling a lot while driving it around in a big hay field. :-)
