Daughter want's to drive the truck
I haven’t had a chance to do anything with the truck since Thanksgiving, only starting it once a week or so and driving it around the block. I have to run to my parents house every weekend (186 miles one way)and after I killed the motor on the Squareback, which I just finished a 140hp 2165cc I haven’t had time for anything. My oldest daughter asked if she could take the truck to her high school car show on Friday. Yesterday I took her out for a check ride to see if she could handle it. She did pretty well considering she has never driven a truck or something without power steering or brakes or fuel injection (learning how to start it). She drove 10 miles of in town stuff and did pretty good. She is used to driving an econo-crate and she thought it was pretty fun. Today she’ll drive some more and we’ll work on parking a bit more. On Thursday we’ll l drive and then polish the chrome and get it ready. We picked up my youngest daughter from school and even she thought it was cool to see her driving the old truck.
