Add this to the 2" scratch on the lower passenger door from 3yr old that THREW small wrench and hit the car while I was putting on a intake and mini battery kit.

I might sell and just wait until their older very disappointed!! So, the lesson learned is it's just a car and it's going to get damaged. Have a great New Year!!
Man you've been busy.
I guess I've been lucky but the wife and kids know how particular Dad is about his car. Mine are 3 and 5, they are actually good when it comes to the car. When I brought home the car for the first time my son was 3, he came out side and said Dad got a Batmobile. It stuck ever since, they enjoy me picking them up in the afternoon, and they often ask to hit the turbo Dad on the way home. All they know is they enjoy the jolt when you mash it to the floor. I have to oblige them every now and then; I enjoy the smile it gives them when we take off.

Better luck to you next year.

take their mother's car when carting them around. no food rules would be nice, but hard to implement since mcdonalds drive through is such an easy way to shut them up.

I wish I could do that all the time, but sometimes me and my wife work opposite shifts. I just put my 1yr old in the back, and let the wind blow in her face. She loves it!

Not just a note to college kids; younger soldiers have the same problem. Only we also get to deal with creepy crawlies that stick to us, hide in the car and then surprise us a couple days later while taking the woman out. Needless to say she wasn't overly impressed nor did I get any that night.
