I will close my eyes and pray, as I did for you. I still remember MY first ride with you in your V.W. and still feels the neck pains to this day.

I have a 12-year-old. We've told him -- much to his annoyance -- that he's not driving until he's "every day of 16," but that's still just four years from now.

And then comes the fear for your kids. I have a 12-year-old. We’ve told him — much to his annoyance — that he’s not driving until he’s “every day of 16,” but that’s still just four years from now.
