I've been doing the driver training thing too, my daughter has her =
beginner's.
She hasn't driven the Rocc yet, but it's tough for me to sit in the =
copilot's
chair. She's doing fine, and has no automatic to drive, we're starting =
her off
right eh? I suspect she'll stop referring to the Rocc as "that ugly =
thing"
once she does get to take it for a spin, Adam and I were just =
discussing that
this very evening.
