My kids have always worn seat belts. My parents would tell us of the times when they would begin pulling out of their driveway before the kids had time to get their seatbelts on. The kids would yell, "STOP!! WAIT!!!" and my parents were not "allowed" to drive any farther until the kids were all buckled.
I'm with you. I can't hardly stand to drive w/o a seatbelt on. It just feels "naked". Plus, in the Corvette, you can cinch the belt down to hold you even tighter in the seat. I love that feature. It's like a large-breasted babe reaching from behind to hold you tight to her, but without the large-breated babe.

I hope they also learn about wearing seat belts. Personally, riding without one gives me the absolute creeps -- I just know that the one time I'm in a car with a broken belt, that's when I'll be in an accident. On a lighter note, riding without a seatbelt also gives me a sense of impending me. --Ben Doom Dawson, Michael wrote: > On a related topic, just two months ago, one of my daughter's friends > was killed when he was speeding on a chip-and-seal-surface road.
