By the time he's old enough to get a license, driving should be about as natural to him as walking. Or breathing.

Been here before but at 8 or 80 that would be the greatest thrill for me. I could do that all day long every day and never get tired of it.
I'm sure we will see his name in WRC someday. |

I can't get a great pic of that car (moving too fast - LOL!) - but I think it's a little Toyota.
I'm probably dead wrong on that, but it really looks like some little Japanese hatchback. angela
