i didn't know you're supposed to have a date to prom
i googled what a prom was and this was the definition

1. a formal dance, esp. one held by a class in high school or college at the end of a year.

so i figured you show up and dance and leave

Were you homeschooled by any chance?

What date do you take to prom if you're homeschooled?

"Mom, if you're not terribly busy this weekend"

Chuck33079 · 04-15-2014, 11:59 PM

I figured anyone who had to Google what prom was homeschooled.

let me clarify my post... it's not a big deal to lend my car to my kids if i trust them. and if it comes back damaged, it probably wont be due to them crashing the car, rather, be damaged by dumbarse jelly general public.

Heheheh. I know what I would do and get in a Z at 17 on prom night. Trust me dad. Lots of high fives and that's it. Really dad.

White07z · 04-16-2014, 01:08 AM

Yeah your a great dad! I remember when I went to prom, my father let me take his car, as mine was a piece of junk! Ill never forget it, my date was impressed and I had a lot of fun that night. I didn't speed or anything cuz I wanted to bring the car home safe and sound. I even washed and cleaned it the day before so the car was shining. I felt good to know my dad trusted me, and didn't do anything stupid to break that trust. Either way a car can be replaced, but family and trust is more important than material stuff.

White07z · 04-16-2014, 01:09 AM

If it's tuned and he's a good kid then let him enjoy his prom. Besides if he makes a mistake or the car arrives wrecked just remember all the times you messed up.

MadChemist · 04-16-2014, 02:28 AM

You are a good dad and you know your child. It seems like you have all of the safeties implemented. The only thing I would suggest is to take him for several drives before hand. Let him drive, that way you will get a since of how he will treat the car and he will be somewhat "trained" on how to handle the car.

Scotch and prayers that night will also help.

Especially if she's a MILF

BOY will get some for sure.

marty31 · 04-16-2014, 04:05 AM

I'm surprised at how many guys wouldn't do it. It's a 40K car.....not a Bentley. If the dude trusts his kid, where's the issue?
