It's not a steering wheel a teenager needs to see over, or pedals to
reach, I think it's a owner/parent/mom they have to get through and then
ask for the keys. I told my daughter, anything you can think of just
remember I had to do the same thing many years ago myself, and it has
turned out very nicly, just one problem now, seems something called grand
children. Ask Dan Masters about this also.
