Teaching my daughter to drive…

…this evening. We were clearing the fence row. She was driving and I was using the inverter in the bed with the electric hedge trimmer. Gotta admit I was a bit nervous at first but she was an ace by the end of it. That inverter is super handy too.

I remember driving my Dad’s old F100 in the granny gear stretching barb wire. Feels like I’ve come full circle…

 

Took me a second, I was imagining some willey coyote hedge cutting action. When you mentioned granny gear, it cleared it up.

Something I did with my niece, told her I’d give her $20 if she could give me directions to get her home. Of course I’d purposely distract her when we were close to where we’re supposed to turn and she’d say wait we were supposed to turn there. It was pretty hilarious. After some young ignorant behavior, totaled her brothers brand new car, I gave her a good long talking to. She got it together, got herself in a good university, graduated and now drives good.

 

Please take a video to share for us city folk!

 

I like that idea. Make them practice their sense of direction. I’m making it 1 dollar though.

 

Don’t forget the distraction part. I swear, it’s pretty much the most hilarious memory I have with her as a teen.

 

That’s hilarious! Great memories right there, she won’t forget them.

My daughter kept asking “which one is the gas pedal again?” and “will it go fast?” Needless to say I worked from behind the truck.

 

Now, you ready for a challenge?

Teach her to parallel park.

 

My method was to use hot wheels, explaining when this tire is here you turn the steering wheel this way.
