One of my fears is that I will become so senile that I will tell all those secrets!
Those @@@@ kids.

Its "do as I say", "Not do as I did". Of course what we did is better left unsaid... or unknown.
:beerJoe, I am glad your kid is alright. They are lucky the truck didn't flip with the speed they were trying to take the turn at.
I would blame drivers ed teachers about excessive speeds on country roads. My drivers ed teacher told me that I can go as fast as I feel comfortable and road conditions permit.
I haven't done anything too stupid with my parents car yet ('97 Saturn). I mean, what are you supposed to do with a Saturn? My older brother set a high bar so anything that I do would be minor in my dinky little Saturn
My older brother has done underground street racing in which he has been handcuffed before and has spun out on a major highway (parents don't know about those incidents). Surprisingly, he has only been in a few wrecks, none that were his fault. Marriage is the only thing that slowed him down. The handful of speeding tickets might have helped too.

There is no way my kids will ever learn the stunts I pulled as a teen.
Of course, I was "much much way more mature" then at that age than they are now at their age.

Joe,
I used the opposite approach with my daughter. I told her absolutely all the stupid, nutty things I did as a teenager! I encouraged her to be "smarter" than her crazy hippie Mom!
Driving was another issue! She demolished 3 cars in 3 months time! She had her permit at 16 and license at 17. I think it's a proven fact that kids driving at this age are unfortunately, "an accident waiting to happen"!
Glad to hear the kids are safe and sound!
