Guy Fieri’s son, Ryder, is looking sharp!

The 11th graderposted celebratory photosin honor of his fall homecoming dance. Of course, his Instagram pictures included a snapshot with his dad and mom, Lori.

Ryder and his friends also posed with his dad in front of their sprawling, palm tree-lined lawn in northern California, along with a group photo of the high schoolers smiling in front of the pool.

In acover story of PEOPLEearlier this month, Guy spoke about parameters Ryder has to follow before buying a car.

“You know what Ryder drove to school [when] he got his license? He got my parents' old, used 259,000-mile Chrysler minivan,” he said. “I’m not buying Ryder a car, and I refuse to let him buy a car until he spends one year with no tickets, no accidents, driving the minivan.”

In no way is the practice a punishment. “It’s a rite of passage,” he added. “Show me that you can spend a year driving the car, not getting any dents, not getting any wrecks, not getting any tickets. Prove that you’ve got it all together. Then you can take your own money out of the bank and go buy a car.”

“I want the boys to be self-sufficient,” he said.

Hunter chimed in, adding he had a similar ground rule to follow when he was that age — he drove his grandfather’s 1996 truck with “no working windows,” Huntertold PEOPLE.
