Hey Matt, as a rule parents are pretty bad instructors. Even after I got my license I could never drive cautious enough for my mom, and I took a lot of crap for not double clutching and actually obeying the speed limit from my dad(the man thought synchro trannys were a passing fad).

Of course I got back at 'em by always bringing home projects and driving rigs that looked like junk yard refugees. LOL

Just dont take what they say to heart, im sure they mean well, just a bit shortsighted.
