Opens more doors than anything else


Took my son up to CT last week for 2017 Brine tryouts. many kids we hold backs. No shocker there however it really hit me when we were leaving when on of these so called 9th graders who parked next to my car walk up, took off his equiptment pulled his keys out, got in the drivers seat (sans parent) and drove off. Not sure what age you can drive unrestricted in CT is but that was an eye opener. My son will not be driving solo until Jan 2016
