[s-cars] Daughters....

[chris chambers]

Gentz,

My daughter turned 3 on Wednesday, when she is in the S6; when I accelerate
an the turbo stars to push all I hear from the back seat is:

"Faster Daddy Faster!" followed by giggles of glee!

This is the same little girl that at age 18months was playing on
all the the older kids playground equipment and climbing through
the McDonald Playland tubes/slids by herself.

Yes she is a little adrenaline junkie at age 3!

Am I going to be in trouble as she gets older?

Chris
