Siblings can be so different.

I have two daughters. An eight year old and a five year old. I took each of them for a ride today. When I mashed the loud pedal and let the back get a bit squirrely the young screams "wheeee" and says "do it again". The oldest clenches the grab bar cries "eeehhh" and says "slow down".

So... I know who I can trust with the family car when they get older.

:smile:

Other than that it was a good little drive for ice cream. My wife drove the Midget with one girl and I drove the Sprite with the other girl. The girls switched cars for the ride back, but my wife still doesn't want to be seen in the UglyBug.

So start planning now for the Spridget for the one who said "Wheeee"
That's what my daughter said when she was about 4 or 5.
She has her own Bugeye now.
I had a son and a daughter, the boy is a totally different story, he has a sprite but he has his own go fast toys. (VWs) but he still enjoys the 58 Sprite as a stock (1275) antique car, his vintage Rabbit is way far from stock.
