This is how to make a teenage daughter cringe.
Teri Hatcher is clinging onto her youth by recapturing the magic of the flower power era and driving around in a VW van.
The Desperate Housewives actress looked thrilled behind the wheel of her vehicle, but 13-year-old daughter Emerson might think differently.

Despite her 46 years, and millions of dollars in the bank, it is quite endearing to see that Teri still opts to drive the 1974 model.
It's a refreshing sight for a Hollywood star to jaunt around in something a little quirkier than a Ferrari with a personalised number plate.


Teri, who starred as Lois Lane in a TV spin-off of Superman in the nineties, rode to Brentwood to meet a friend, before embarking on a hike.
As the pair set off on their expedition, the petite brunette looked typically tiny in her figure-hugging gym kit.
Teri's fitted trousers showcased her slender thighs, without an ounce of spare flesh.

Living in LA, Teri's vehicle is no exception to the rule when it comes to making headlines.  
The Golden Globe-winner sued a British tabloid after they reported she had been having wild sex inside the van while parked outside her home.
Hatcher won the case, with the Daily Sport forced to admit the allegations were 'entirely false' and had to pay up undisclosed libel damages.
