Listened to the exhaust note while my 18 year old son drove away so he can pick some sushi for dinner.
The tracker I got on him said the max speed was 90. Thank goodness he got home safe. That kid scares me sometimes. But he asked if he could use it and I couldn’t say no. He loves the car too and he works on it with me as well.

He was only trying to get the sushi back to you as fresh as possible!

Imagine if he knew he wasn't being tracked!

That day is coming soon for me. My son is 15yo. He rode with my wife on the way home from picking up my car and told that's what he wants lol! To my surprise, she told him yes. I had talked to her about it prior, but didn't think she'd be on board with it.

In any case, my son has already helped swap out some suspension pieces as well as rear rotors/brakes. He's eager to learn, which is awesome. The hope is if he has some "skin in the game" by doing repairs that he'll be a little easy on it. Still, hard to slow down when you have a free shot to the interstate lol!

Rad, enjoy the time you have, it went by quick. Son is in college now, leaving for LA once COVID clears. I’ve been dragging him out to the garage so he learns at least how to change the oil in the car. He knows how to change pads for sure.

Piper, sushi was fresh for sure. He’s known he’s on a tracker, but he still does anyways, esp on the on ramps. He loves the sound, but wants to put a new louder exhaust on it
