We have a 63 Chrysler cop car in the museum so today I decided to pick my girls up at school.  Now my 12 year old, she loved it.  Thought the whole experience was great.  But my fifteen year old...
Well, first of all I see her standing on the sidewalk looking for me and then she sees the cop car and is looking at it.  She recognizes me behind the wheel and I notice her head shake ever so slightly and her gaze drops as she heads across the parking lot to the car.  She gets in and I'm grinning like I got a window seat on the short bus and all she can say is, "Really dad?".  I said, "What?  I thought it would be cool".  She tells me, "next time bring a Ferrari".  I point to the fifteen year old boys standing across the lot and they are obviously psyched to see the old cop cruiser, so I point this fact out to her and  tell her, "those guys are all excited about it".  She looks me dead in the eye and calmly replies, "they're all going to be riding in the back seat someday".

I don`t care what she says, it was cool.   :coolgleamA:

You know the other cool thing I discovered was that when people see black and white with red lights on top in their rearview mirror, it doesn`t matter if the black and white is obviously from a past era, they slow down!   :smilielol: :smilielol:

I'd be more concerned about the boys she thinks will be riding in the back of one some day.  Does she hang out with them?    :-\


Tomorrow is promised to no one.......drive your Charger today.

Excellent move! 

My 12 year old daughter also tries to pretend like I am not there, or that she is not in the car when I drive her around in the 70 Charger.  Granted, she then tells me she knows I like it, and the first time I took her out, the car was not working so well (it stalled at a stoplight, and then when I got it started, I accidentally lit up the tires trying to recover)  A policeman was behind me but didn't pull me over, and she just slunk down deeper into her seat.

Now it is different.  My son, on the other hand....

It also sounds like your daughter has a good read on you, and the boys, so she sounds like she will take care of herself.

 
Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

too funny. I run a sound n light co working for local bands..I used to have a high top wheelchair van for hauling the gear, complete with school bus type door on the pass side..I threatened  to pick up my 13 year old stepdaughter with it at middle school if she continued to cause trouble..she did NOT like the idea!

I see absolutely nothing wrong with it.  I don't know why your eldest wouldn't like it.  Maybe she would have liked something like that dark blue one, instead. ( I want to say cabriolet, but not sure.)  I'm not to familiar with that era of car.

The dark blue one is a Duesenberg Model J, forget the year and coachbuilder but it's a dual cowl.   I would check but I'm not in that building today.

I would love to test drive that police car. I get tired of test driving these new ones. The crown vic is boring with no power and the chevys they are getting look ugly. I wish they would get a charger. We do have an undercover 300 but it has the 2.7 in it.

Well, that makes one person.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

One of the best cars I had.  Bought from my local police department - 4 years old for $2k with 75k miles.  Sold it 3 years later with 150k miles and it was virtually trouble free. :2thumbs:
