I think this would be a great product.

[Midlodemocrat]

An aftermarket brake for the passenger side of the car for when you're teaching (idiot)BoyMidlo who doesn't believe that you have to stop at a stop sign, to drive.

I would pay for one in a heartbeat. It would save me a fucking ton on alcohol.


:beer:

[Kali]

1. I want the override steering wheel too

and not for the kids, for the HUSBAND :7

[malta blue]

2. ...

:spray:

Good luck my friend.

:rofl::rofl:

[redqueen]

3. So you mean one that works...

rather than the imaginary one you stomp on, just in case that helps...

[Midlodemocrat]

4. Yeah, I think I twisted my ankle coming home from Game Stop.

:rofl:

[redqueen]

5. Hahah... must have been bad...

did you press your hand against the dashboard too?

I don't know what I think that'll do besides break my arm, if there was a crash... but I do it anyway.

And yeah... not with a student driver, who has an excuse... but my ex... who just insists on driving like a student driver. :P

[MrCoffee]

9. You two should hang out with MrsCoffee

She's a big fan of gasping and slamming her hands on the roof of the car.

That's not the slightest bit distracting while driving, by the way.

[Midlodemocrat]

11. LOL. My mom used to do that, too.

Funny thing is, she was a terrible, terrible driver. I am WAY better, and even when I was grown and had kids of my own, she did that.

[redqueen]

12. Well how about you just slow it down a bit there Mario?

EXCUSE us if being in fear for our very lives distracts you from pretending you're an F1 driver. :eyes:

[MrCoffee]

15. # of wrecks MrCoffee has been in while driving - zero

# of wrecks MrsCoffee has been in while driving - three


I report, you decide.

[redqueen]

17. Hah.

Well... that does seem to speak for itself, yes.

But in my case the cringing one was the one with fewer accidents, so...

[flvegan]

19. How many have you *caused* though, Hamilton?

[MrCoffee]

23. I'm an excellent driver

Gotta get home for Wapner. Definately Wapner.

[Parche]

6. Does He Drive The Midlo Van?

:woohoo: :woohoo: :hi:

[Midlodemocrat]

8. He does.

How are you doing, sweetie?

:hug:

[Parche]

22. Surviving

In and out, we watched Young and Restless together for over 30years
and everytime I watch it now, it makes me :cry: :cry: :cry:


One hell of a day Friday, as I was up all night Thursday and Friday morning..........:cry:


:hi: :hug: :hug:

[Midlodemocrat]

24. I feel your pain.

Losing my own mom and then my dad was terribly hard for me. Only daughter and all that.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

It does get better, though. It truly does.

[MissMillie]

7. They actually do make them

When I took driver's ed (way back in the middle ages) the instructor sat on the passengers side and he did indeed have a working brake.

[Midlodemocrat]

10. See, the trained professionals get one, but not the moms.

Just another anti-mom moment brought to you by corporate America.

[Orangepeel]

13. you can buy almost anything on the Internets

http://shop.osbrake.com/

If you've got 300 extra bucks!

:toast:

[zanne]

14. And tons of "virtual reality" driving lessons.

So only virtual reality people can get hurt. During my driving lessons in high school, I almost ran over an old man standing on his front lawn!

[Midlodemocrat]

16. Was it John McCain?

[zanne]

35. This was about 30 years ago....

So, yeah, it could've been him.

[Midlodemocrat]

38. Yeah, that would be about right. He's old.

[flvegan]

18. My mom likes to remind me from time to time

that on my first driving outing on my permit with her, I just about took out a big sign when I was trying to find 3rd gear.

Is BoyMidlo into cars? Driving the people carrier must kill him if so.

[Midlodemocrat]

20. He just likes the thought of the freedom.

He's drive TM's car when she goes to school in August. I don't want her to turn into a taxi service out there and I can easily go get her if she wants to come home.

He likes the van well enough, though. I think the Satellite radio is kind of a big draw. :rofl:

[flvegan]

25. And what's she got?

If you don't mind me asking. BMW most likely, by the elitist likes of you. :rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

26. LOL. 2004 Camry.

Bought it from a friend for $10,000 with 99,999 miles on it.

Two years later, she's only put about 5K miles on it, so when BabyMidlo gets it, it will be well within the limits of mileage.

See? Me = Smart.

[trof]

21. It would save wear & tear on the passenger side carpet too.

I've worn my 'brakes' out on that side.

[LeftyMom]

27. Professional lessons: only $350 or so, and they'll save you a lot of stress.

Just sayin'.

[flvegan]

28. Since BoyMidlo

is male, he doesn't need professional lessons. Just time behind the wheel.

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

JUST kidding!!

[LeftyMom]

30. Then what the fuck is your excuse?

:popcorn:

[MrCoffee]

32. Oh. My. Gawd.

Too easy. Way too easy.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

Go for it.

:popcorn:

[Midlodemocrat]

33. Zing!!!!

:rofl:
:rofl:
:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

29. Seriously thinking about it.

He's stop sign adverse and has a lead foot.

[LeftyMom]

31. Think of it this way: the first dent he doesn't put in your car,

the lessons have more than paid for themselves.

[Midlodemocrat]

34. TM took out another passenger side mirror on Friday.

backing out of the garage. She took out her father's about six months ago and then decided to take out hers. :eyes:

Jesus that kid is dangerous.

I can get the van in and out of the garage with my eyes practically closed and she demolishes the side mirror on a Camry? :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

36. They're cheap on ebay.

Mine was loose when I bought the car because the previous owner tried to squeeze two cars into a one car garage. :eyes: The replacement mirror and housing set me back under $40 with shipping.

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Fortunately, Mr Fix It made it right.

I'd be bankrupt if it weren't for him. His kids are disasters.
