Doesn't get any better than that. My granddaughter is 6. As far as passing the keys, I bet she will be learning to drive a stick in another 6 years. Boy does time fly. When I got my daughter a 5 speed to drive to high school she come home and told me "Dad most of the guys don't know how to drive a stick". Enjoy those moments with the grandson!!!!!

Very nice

I miss my granddads.  My little guy is 4.  I think in a couple years we'll start restoring my '76 CJ5 as a father and son project.  That'll be a good learning to drive vehicle for him too I think.  We all grew up learning to drive beaters through the woods.  That sharpens your reflexes and teaches you what a vehicle can and can't do and how to get out of trouble.  Great real world skills. 

We also use to go out in the parking lots in the winter (all rear wheel drive cars then) and do donuts in the snow. A lot of fun but taught you how to handle a car in the winter.

Oh hell yeah.  Snow driving also taught me a lot.  Actually one of the first times I drove after getting my license was to take my Mom to the store after a snow and ice storm.  I'm a December baby, so that put my first real world driving experience smack in the middle of the winter. 

Heres my helper
