Sounds like a neat Father & Daughter memory day!

Still recall being allowed to drive the first time by my dad in his "goin' fishin' car", a 59 impala with a 3 speed on the column! I was 10 years old. That old car was never quite right after that but I learned how to 'clutch'!

Now my youngest son who, at 6 years old, is asking when he can drive. Keep telling him when his feet can reach the pedals and he can see out the window at the same time!

Looks like you both had a memory-making fun day and great to see you got her started in a truck!
