In todays "twisted" society, that would be considered "child abuse". In my world, it's considered "incentive". (Nice job Ken)

My Daniel was about 6-7 years old when I bought my GTO. Ever since his 1st ride he's smiled when he gets near the car......

Maybe if the new school thought that it was a "Justin Beiber" shifter,they would want one

Yup, those early rides make lasting impressions.
This was the day I took delivery of this car several years ago. Note the car seat strapped in.

A little off topic but today is also the day that my Chevelle was built (Sept 25, 1973). Built in Oshawa for US consumption, delivered through Robert Uptegraff Chevrolet in Davison Michigan on Sept 26th.

My pickup has a birthday coming up in a couple days, too
