FYI,

This is a post forwarded from another list, from a very satisfied father and
the instruction his 15-year-old got.

I apologize in advance for no p-car content but I was so impressed with 
the Driver's Edge teen driver training my 15 year-old attended 
yesterday, I just had to pass the word.  If anyone has a new(er) driver 
in the house, 15-21 years old, you MUST get to one of these schools.
They set up 2 exercises, one was a skid-pad car control exercise using 
Camaros and the other was a braking and evasive lane change exercise 
using BMW's.  Yep, that's right, they supply the cars and some 
pro-drivers as instructors.  A mix of chalk talks and getting the kids 
behind the wheel makes for a pretty fast 4 hours but, in the words of my 
son "I learned more in 4 hours than I did in 30 hours of driver's ed", 
it has nothing but an up side.
Check them out at:

Sponsors are paying the tab and they include Bridgestone, AAA and Sprint.
Think I might have to buy a new set of Bridgestone shoes for my C4 (P-car
content?).
