Well my grandson brings a new meaning to defensive driving.

[Charles Cook]

Well that was a hell of a ride. That was fun from the passenger seat. Lol. Wow. Lots of learning has to go on here. Everyone is ok, that’s the main thing. All I can say is WOW what a ride. Yeeeehaaaa.

 

[Charles Cook]

Now I have a neighbors fence to fix. Lol

 

[moparedtn]

Good Lord. If that boy has a hard time keeping one of those on the road, make sure to
keep any real vehicles away from him for a while longer eh?

My damn wife is still laughing at the paint chips off the fence that were on my neck from having the windows down. Lol

 

[roadrunnerh]

Wow! He'll get better....!

I hope so. Lol

What was he defending , the other tree ?

He tore the fence down to get to the trees. Lol

 

[roadrunnerh]

Slap a fender, mirror, and headlight from a boneyard. Preferably, have him pull the parts and help install.
Jump back in the saddle!

 

[69bird]

And have him help you repair the fence

 

[Big Bad Dad]

Does he know which pedal is which????????

 

[Dutchrebuild]

Partied it!

 

[moparwacko]

He's now ready for that Roadrunner.








Do the repairs include an 01 on the door and a flag on the roof?

Not quite. Lol

Horsepower - How fast he got to the trees

Torque - How many trees he took down

 

[Budnicks]

What made him veer into the tree/woods ?
did something run into or across the road ?
did he lose control with all that FWD power ?
or did he just lose it, oversteer etc. ?

we need detail man, details

you both are OK, thats the main deal

he'd be wearing pouches & fixing that fence & then helping
do what is said above;
go get a fender, bumper & bumper cover & light assembly
from a recycling/wrecking yard, he can use it as a great time to learn
& you teach him...
Great bonding moment
does he have $$$/a job ?
maybe even have him be responsible
even if the insurance will "maybe cover it", it's a great lesson learned...

I'm sure he's a good kid knowing you/your posts... I hope

He’s a great kid. He panicked and over steered to the left with his foot on the gas pedal. This car was our practice driving car. So much for that. Lol. I didn’t fuss at him, I got the car out of the woods and we continued driving. Of course the tire was rubbing the inner fender but what the hell. His driving got better as we drove around the neighborhood. I bought a Mustang to give him for his birthday in June but that won’t be driven until he learns how to safely drive. lol the good thing is, we live in a rural area so we will continue to practice. I guess I need to get him in the Runner and pin his butt in the seat and show him how it’s done. Lol I have never driven recklessly with him in the car. So I will continue to work with him. This is the car I purchased for him for his birthday. Lots of work to do before June.

One of my kids did something similar during first on the road driving school extravaganza with the wife. For some unknown reason turned right off the road went over a curb and destroyed two aluminum rims and two tires on the wife’s new Toyota.

 

[Richard Cranium]

By chance, did he learn the basics of driving from playing Grand Theft Auto?

 

[kiwigtx]

My son pulled out in front of a speeding motorbike.....creamed the rear of the car.....but I had it fixed up.
Valuable lesson learned.
