Anyone here allow their car to be driven to prom.

A couple of years ago, when Mr. C was living just a couple of miles away, we chauffeured our sons and their dates to a JROTC ball in our big "C"s - me in the '78 NYBS and Mr. C in his black four-door Imperial. I'll have to look up the pics and post them. It was a lot of fun!

Borrowing it again on Tuesday to take my girl out........She likes Domestic RWD V8's......and me, so it's a win, win

I've borrowed his '10 Challenger R/T Classic once as well, 6spd and Hemi, Black on Black, White stripes, sweet car........

And how do I know him, I bought two very rusty Plymouth's from him, When he had the Duster I borrowed it twice...........I treat other people's stuff better then my own because I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if anything ever happened..........

Your the exception Nick. Most guys your age have no concept of the sweat equity involved in our cars. Their only concern is how cool it will make them look to their friends.

NO turd droppers n my car.....!!!!!

Let me see 17 - 5 = 12 years to go. I'll be 72 and a curmudgeon like Stan which means the answer will be NO WAY even though I have no idea which car might be requested. Hopefully, in the future, he will be able to care for the Cougar going from grandfather, to father, to son/grandson over a 70 year span.

In the late '70s, my Dad let me drive his pristine '63 T-Bird to the prom; and the next year, I drove his '66 Mustang GT ragtop. Dad trusted me with his cars and trucks, and I never wrecked his stuff or blew it up, either. My stuff, however...!

Why not.....?

 

[ANGRYJOE]

My daughter wants to take mine next year. If I still have it, it is hers for the taking. If it makes her happy and feel special...then I'll do it. Besides, shes the one who will be burning the panels on. My buddy and I are just going to supervise...she'll earn the right to drive it.

My oldest son wanted to take my old Ram, 6" lift, 35" tires Deep Amythist Pearl to the prom. It was my baby and he knew it so when I tossed him the keys he about crapped himself.

You are deffinately the exception to the rule Nick. I would think nearly everyone here would not hesitate to loan you their car.

and their daughter....

 

[patrick66]

Anyone remember the old Sears DieHard commercial from around 1972, where an older couple goes out to dinner, when the gentleman's car won't start. He goes in to ask his son: "Son, can I borrow your car?", where his son tosses his keys to him, for a very heavily customized '69 'Cuda fastback with a spoiler and custom early '70s paint on it! The guy and his wife drive off in the four-speed car, with the car jerking and heaving from the dad's obvious lack of practice on a standard shift!

I never tore up cars or anything I ever had and even made my shoes last if I wanted to have a next pair although I used performance cars as intended when it came to the Road Runners etc and have raised my children to respect property and others so they can drive anything I have, and after I get the R/T on the road I'll relish teaching them HOW to drive it and respect it's torque and we'll definitely do some controlled maximum acceleration testing for certain. There's a time and a place for everything and their safety, others safety, and the cars safety is important and they know that and will understand the muscle cars brute power when I'm able to get it out and show it to them.

I'm not judging mind you.

Zac, Ross hasn't had the best of luck with his son....

I think Ross is providing a public service not letting a teenager drive his Challenger, the kid would probably kill himself driving it.

I was just joking guys.. A little .

I knew his son just had the wreck with the ram a little while back, plus hes outa state if I remember correctly?.. I meant it more towards his daughter/s.. Sorry Ross, don't remember how many kids ya got! lol

 

[monaco75]

my son asked, i thought about it.................hell no!

Could we see some more of this beast?? I'm liking it!!

 

[72Fury]

I might, depending on which car, they do get to pick the nursing home after all. lol. In reality I will probably pick the limo route. Split it with a couple other parents and avoid the whole issue and have a safe driver, without the drama, liability or fear.

I was a 19 year old kid working in the Service Dept. of a Chevy dealer at the zenith of the Muscle Car era.
No, No kid is driving my car.....

 

[bulldogchesty]

I have a 25 year old step daughter, and no way would I let her drive it, she is too irresponsible. Now, if I had a child I know would be responsible, then, yes I would.

 

[polara71]

My 21 year old daughter and her 23 year old boyfriend drove my 71 to Carlisle last year......and they were offered the convertible.

I dont think I would have let them drive it in high school

I thought of you working as a 19-year-old lot kid at the service department of a Chevy dealership just prior to Pearl Harbor!
