That 's sad. I'm in the same boat. My 11 year old daughter begs to go on
drives with me in the bugeye, but my 17 year-old daughter won't go near it.
I think she's embarrased to be seen in a car her friends think is cool.
Parents must never make the mistake of looking even slightly cool in front
of a teenager's friends. It screws up their standard "my parents are such a
drag" rap. Having coached most of her friends in youth soccer since they
were tykes, she has a tough time with that story anyway. She was mortified
when her friends visited and wanted to see "the cool cars your dad has in
the garage."
