I've noticed that Krause does not respond to your posts. Do you have any
idea why? Did you embarrass him or somethin?

Skipper,
I have no idea, I have always been polite in all of my conversations with
him.

My guess is he does not feel he can converse with someone with my
educational background. ; )

You're just noticing that now?
Who said you were a bit slow?

"Lord Reginald Smithers" Ask me about my driveway leading up to my manor.

Our youngest daughter will be turning 16 in Jan. My wife wants to give
her a GPS unit for the car. My wife's logic is she would be a safer
driver, if she didn't knew where she was going, and was not looking for
street names and addresses.

It seems to me that another electronic toy in the car is just another
thing to distract her from watching the road.

Does anyone have any experience with GPS and teenagers?

and

Most importantly, does anyone have any experience buying a handheld unit
that has both maps for city driving and nautical charts?




I'd be more interested in a tracking device in my teenage daughter's car.
Hulk Hogan put one in his daughter's car when she started dating!

Actually, think of it this way: your teen can pull over to look at the gps
if she gets lost instead of stopping to ask stranger's the way or wandering
about possibly into neighborhood's that aren't safe. Just stress the
importance of pulling over to read the gps. Of course, with a friend in the
car, they would be the navigator. And don't forget to teach her how to read
a map.

Geeez...a cell phone, gps, blabbing friends, blaring tunes...Hope your
insurance is paid up. Oh, and please tell us where she will be driving,
so we can get the hell out of the way.

JR,
Where do you live? I am going to ask her to put her practice hours in your
neighborhood.

JR,
NP, my wife wanted our daughter to learn how to drink coffee while applying
makeup and chatting on the phone all at the same time. I thought the GPS
unit was over the top, but as long as she has a nice quiet neighborhood to
practice in, it probably will be ok.

You forgot to teach her how to eat the Carls Jr. double cheeseburger
without getting food on her clothes!

JR,

You seem to have an absence of faith in our youth. Say it ain't so. I'll
bet you were young once.
