Ford planning a car parents will love
All I can say is that I'm sure glad they didn't have this system when I was a teenager. Ford is introducing a system that allows parents to control a vehicle's maximum speed, limit the radio volume, and even ensure that seatbelts are worn. All of ...

Are you your kids' private chauffeur?
Kids drive parents crazy; parents drive kids everywhere else. I drive Jared and Sara a lot of places. I drive them to school in the morning and home in the evening. I drive them to their Acrosports classes on Saturdays and swim lessons on Sundays. I ...
Sixteen-year-old converts pickup to electric
Auto shop was not an option at my high school, which is probably for the best. Bad things happen when I try to do anything more complicated than check the oil on a car. That isn't the case, apparently, for Andrew Angelloti who, at the tender age of ...
Eleven-year-old Aussie saves dad
They make 'em tough and rugged, down under. Take, for example, Lachlan "Lochie" Nally. He and his dad were driving along when something happened and their car ended up rolling over. A lot of kids would start crying and wait for help to arrive, ...
Are GPS systems endangering kids?
Reader W. H. Heydt pointed me to this story about a Dutch research organization that tested a number of satellite navigation systems and found that all but one routed drivers through residential areas instead of sending them along major ...
The Auto Show 2007
On the last day of November, which happened to be my birthday, I picked Jared up early from school (his class had been on a field trip all day and I didn't think they get much learning done in that last hour) and we hopped on the streetcar to go ...
Going to the auto show
Pretty much from the moment we left Moscone center in downtown San Francisco last November, Jared was asking me when we could go back to the auto show. I told him that we would go again next year. Well, once again, it's November and that means it's ...What do you look for in a family vehicle?
A while back, it seemed like the only thing that mattered about a new car was the number of cupholders it had. You could have made a vehicle that seated ten, got a hundred miles to the gallon, and handled like a Ferrari, but if it didn't have at ...
Would you buy a commuter car?
The other day, I came across a video for the Vandenbrink Carver (now called the VentureOne) which looked absolutely awesome -- and would make a great commuter car. This weekend, I was at the Vintage Computer Festival, held at the Computer History ...
Driver's ed: homeschool or lessons?
Rachel was watching Grand Canyon (a great movie, but difficult to watch) and I came into the room as Kevin Kline was teaching his son to drive. She said to me, "that'll be you, in ten years." Jared will be eligible for his learner's permit in just ...
Riding with parents
The week before last, Jared's teacher sent home a note about two upcoming field trips. She wanted to know which parents were able to go and how many could drive other children. We conferred with some of the other parents and made plans for Jared to ...
High performance driver's ed
When I was a kid, I never drove anywhere. Sweet Pea and I barreled down the road. We flew, zipped, raced, but never just drove. (Unless, maybe, my parents were along for the ride.) I never had any formal ten-tenths training, however, and the things I ...
Make your own speed trap
Let's face it. Nobody likes getting a speeding ticket. Sometimes, however, it seems that people need some sort of wake-up call to get them to slow down when there are kids around. One guy did it by putting up life-size cardboard cut-outs of his kids. ...
Stricter car seat law coming to California
Having just posted about our adventures and education this past weekend when shopping for a booster seat for Sara, California legislators are about to turn it up a notch. Already, California has some of the strictest car seat laws in the country, ...
Car seats: switching up
Every state in the US has laws mandating that young children ride in a car seat when traveling in an automobile. For every state except Kentucky, a car seat is required until the child is four years old or weighs more than forty pounds (some states ...
