But that said, if I wanted to take my son for a ride at 140 MPH, I'd do it on a track. Of course I'd have a lot of trouble with that as the fastest I've been able to get my car on track is 129 or so (not to mention that I don't have a son). NA FTW.
I think you'll just have to accept that there are going to be those who will 'look down' on you for giving your son a ride at 140 MPH on a public road. That said, I REALLY wish my dad had given me a ride in an Exige at 140 MPH when he was alive.

I appreciate and respect yours and others opinions. Just to fill in the blank, my son is 22 years old, rides a Ducati 966 SP when he is not driving the Lotus (He put more miles on the car than I did last summer).
