[DeTomaso] Dream Drives for Kids

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Funny,
I already do this and have for years... at car shows.  In fact just this 
weekend I was at two different car shows, one on Saturday and one on Sunday.

Saturday we had probably a half dozen kids and a few adults take a turn 
sitting in the drivers seat of the Pantera, getting their photos taken 
and admiring the ride.  The show was put on by a local Lutheran Church 
and I won the Pastor's Choice award.

Sunday was another show and this time we didn't get as many kids coming 
through, but we still gave away a few smiles as we let those who wanted 
to, sit in the drivers seat and take photos.

All it takes is showing up to a car show and letting kids sit in the 
car.  It's a blast!
