Who drives your Cobra?

Hey PCC, were you in the school debating team? I only ask because I have seen your sons ute in your 'vertical right angle' driveway and if can get that low piece of machinary to your front door I reckon he could get your Cobra into the garage. Therefore either you gave him that excuse (Cobra to low) and you debated with him for 3 weeks on how he'll scratch your fuel tank, and won, or you just said Insurance doesn't cover him. Which one was it?

The insurance makes it easy to say no. I have let my son drive it when I
was with him and he did fine. I may let someone else drive it if it feels
right but in 6 years I guess it hasn't felt right yet. I have given plenty of
rides and after that none have asked to drive it. Fancy that!
They did enjoy the ride - I think it was more than enough for them, as
most weren't big "car" people.

Who said its "only" a replica. Shame on you.

My insurance covers anyone who has 10+ years driving experience. However, I am still using the insurance excuse for my crazy er friends.

Just ask Steve Ringstad of the perils of trusting.

His was only finished a couple of months and let his mates son take it around the block unsupervised. The lads walked home after parking it in someones front retaining wall.

Okay - No debating

When they did ask, P$#s off was my response.

If they know its a definite no then they won't ask. If there is a hint of maybe, then they will take it!

I am more worried about the WRX as that has even more street cred with the kids i.e. all kids want a WRX

When they buy their own Aston or other drop dead gorgeous car I may then trade a drive.

I'll find a recent video of one my kids doing an over sized burnout and load it up. Then you will see why I do what I do.

That's more the response I was looking for. Right out of The Manor Born handbook young chap.

P.s> I to was were never in the school debating team probably because my best response would have been P$#s off, you got NOTING!

P.s.s> You wait till someone from Club Cobra sees my driveway. The nationals will come to my driveway for the Hill Climb section.
