Talking good ... or bad idea?

Mom kept on asking me "I like to get a ride in your race car to see what all the fuss is about ..."

Good idea? Take mom to work (track) day is coming up.

Great idea. My mom resisted in a big way my attending driving schools when I was young and going to the track. She didn't want to hear about it or see any videos.

However....once I took her for a ride....well, she thinks it's cool now and wants a sports car.
My dad, however, supporter of my hobby and lifelong boater, was sick after one lap. Ha!

My wife still like to go for rides, despite the big spin we had one time while I was attempting to demostrate how easily the car rotates with the throttle pedal...

But, she is starting to track the Cayman now and having fun.

Very cool. We never had a high enough hp car growing up for me to messaround with

Well ... I think the revenge will be too cruel after watching the following ride along video. I will have mom play Tokyo drift on PS2 instead
