My daughter has scheduled to take her driver's test tommorrow. It will be nice not have to do so much running, but then there will be new worries <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> .

I remember that feeling well.
One of my daughters has loads of confidence on the road, always did. The other one was nervous and I worried so much about her. She's still that way! My son is taking a good looooooong time to learn (he has some special needs, so he **needs** the time)... and hasn't taken the driving portion of his test yet. Oh yeah, I worry, I worry...
It's hard when they go and grow up on ya, isn't it? But exciting too, eh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

oh, yea, i have a VW jetta with 110K miles on it, all paid for, 5 years old. . and X has a one year old fully loaded Expedition. . .
hmmmm. . . . now which car do you think that jr will be learning to drive in?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
when I bought the car 5 years ago and he was 10 years old, i told him that this car would probably be the one he will learn to drive in. . . he couldn't quite fathom that concept then, but now he can. . . and 12 yo daughter has alrady asked and been giving clutch and shifting lessons. . and she does pretty well at shifting while i drive. . .
yes, bob, you have new worries, but you also have a bigger stick. . for punishment. . . or rewards. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I bought my old company car, 2000 Tarus, since I let x keep the familly car. I guess I should have asked for half the value. All I have is a company car and d is not allowed to drive it.
Tonite d asked if she passes drivers test can she have the car all the time( I use it on weekends in order to keep my company car personal use down.)
I am not sure what to do. Should I let her take car to x'shen she is their? I have no trust in x to do the prudent thing and limit d's driving. X has hinted at limiting it, but basically I don't believe her. Not sure if x will let d driver her van regularly. Not sure of that should matter.
Basically, I am clueless.
