I took my 15 year old brother Chase out for some driver training in the Raptor. He put mile 200-285 on the Raptor on his fourth day of driving and couldn't stop smiling. He drove around North County and we found a few off road trails to explore in the Elfin Forest area. At one point my 13 year old son was navigating his way up an incline with my 15 year old brother in the passenger seat and my 11 year old daughter and I in the back. As we crawled past a couple hikers I ducked out of view. I would love to hear the hiker's story. No plates on the Raptor, dirt scratches running full length of the truck and three kids with funny smirks trying to look older and innocent as they crawled past up the hill.

1976 Chevrolet Chevette. dropped two trannys out of it due to power shifting in my teenage days LOL

Think I may have been devirginisized in it too...

Great times (but not as great as doing it in a raptor) :)

I started my boys out driving about 5-6 years old out of necessity. They would drive the bale trailer through the pasture while I loaded with the tractor.

I look back now and think "WTF was I thinking?!". Although my oldest is a pretty damn good driver now and he doesn't even have his license yet.
