    3). Don't let your teenage son drive it (even if he says he won't drive it too fast Daddy)
    4). NO WINTER DRIVING, AAAAAHHHHHHH etc, etc, etc.

    NEVER let wife's idiot nephew borrow your Comet ... it came back with the tool box upside-down in the trunk and the clutch pedal hovering an inch off the floor (brand-new Hayes street/strip clutch, too ... STIFF!).

    This was my ex-wife's idiot nephew that I am referring to ... in retrospect, I think she might have given him instructions to "kill the car"... she ended up being an ex shortly after that... he came within inches of being beaten senseless ...

    Drive it to and from work every single day in all weather. Romp hard on the gas so she knows she's alive. Eat, drink, and smoke in it. Take your 2 year old to the park in it on weekends. Never leave any thing in the interior. A gentle bath at least every week. A more serious bath at least every month, and at minimum one entire night out of every two months in the garage buffing, waxing, waxing again and petting her gently with microfiber as you tell her you're sorry. Next morning, leave the garage in a cloud of tire smoke and do it all again.

    Except if the body is as rough as mine, skip the bath and the wax. parts might fall off. dirt has held the quarter panels on for years.

    AMEN and THANK GOD BECAUSE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING.... for a minute there I thought I was "breaking all the rules".

    So I *am* still allowed to go to A&W drive in, sit in my car, stuff my face, drop onion ring bits on the floor and drip teenburger juice between the seats, play music loud, and have a cigarette and belch A&W root beer while people walk past and offer kudos.
