OT: Teen defensive driving course
Some of you may remember that I signed Ryan (my 16-year old) for Danny McKeever's Teen Defensive Driving course at Willow Springs today (3/27). LeeR, a fellow Rennlister also came and brought his son Jordan. I took a few pictures, which I will post one-at-a-time. Lee, feel free to add your pictures to this thread.
Summary: a fun course that taught the kids something about accident avoidance and vehicle dynamics. A really good deal. Ryan now wants to start racing go-karts. Darn.
A group shot of all the kids (14 total) and some of the instructors:

Steve,
Swirl marks on the neglected Cobra? How could you? There wouldn't be any car favoritism around your place would there? I took one of those classes several years ago and, while generally basic compared to what I know now, it was fun to learn basic vehicle dynamics.

Swirl marks? That poor Cobra now gets parked OUTSIDE! What can I say... I just can't get that third garage bay cleaned out enough to it parked inside.
The course was definitely worth the time and reasonable cost ($350). I highly recommend it for all beginning drivers.

I agree with Steve that this was a good course for teens to get used to car control, including swirving to avoid something, hard braking, etc. Here's a photo of my son Jordan in his A4 doing one of the exercises. I liked the SBD sticker on a Mini. Where can I get that?
