Wait till she is in her teen years and wants to start dating. You will be pulling your hair out worrying about her every time she goes out the door. The good news is that they are only teens for 7 years, and then they become young adults. Being the parent of a young lady isn't easy.
We didn't have worry about our daughter dating. She was mean!!!! I'll never forget when my wife casually mentioned that she got called into school today. Daughter was 15yo. This boy was hitting on her trying get her to date him. Then got mad and started harrasing her when she turned him down. She got mad and told him to "Come talk to her when his balls dropped!!!" 😬😬😬 The boy started crying 🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅

I think it is loonngg out of date.
If you OWN the tank….you can exchange it for another filled tank…the typical up-charge for an expired tank is only $2. (I deal with Praxair and that’s their policy.)

Charge depends a A LOT on where you live!

For sure much easier to drive then a vehicle, but they only 6 and 8 😂 (son does have a couple years on it though). they both took to using the clutch pretty much right away.

Now,....teach him to drive a stick shift!
Very few under 50 years old can!
lol, my 4 kids all learned on manual transmissions. The look on the motor vehicle inspector was priceless when he walked out to give one of my sons his driving test and saw the MR2 turbo.

My two sons and one daughter all can, and do, drive stick transmissions, but my youngest is 51.

hey now! I’m not that old 😜

but yes I see it all the time, have worked with a number of lot hands and techs. over the years that can’t drive them. Have even seen customers buy them and burn clutches up before the first oil change 😂

The dealer I was working at in 2004 when the Ford GT came out sold one to a couple. They show up to take delivery of it, and neither one knew how to drive a manual trans 😂. Nothing like trying to teach someone how to drive one on a $160,000 car in the dealer parking lot 🤣
