wow, your old enough to have a son that drives, who knew? lol im not to far behind you, my son will be driving in less than 2 yrs. im not looking forward to it. but honestly, if he is a good kid and has a good head on his shoulders, i wouldnt put to many restrictions on him. give him enough of a leash to hang himself, then if he does, you will know you need to tighten the leash. it really just depends how responsible he is jim. oh yeah, and if he is a decent driver. lol
