Who has children that help them in the garage?
 

How many of you guys have children that really get into helping you in the garage when you are working on your cars...or just getting them ready to take for a cruise?
Let's hear some stories about the "upcoming generation" and their involvement in classic cars...any of them build models like your car? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

My daughter is 11 and is really into the cars. Her favorite is my/hers 63 Ford. She and I have gone to Goodguys shows and she loves that. My son who is 15 is not as enthusiastic as his sister, but prefers the done cars, not the resto work so much. Every summer he gets a job as SCW and he does great work, but not much of it. His favorite car in the shop ever was Shor's Ford GT and Dads 2007 Shelby GT. He likes the modern iron...BKH

My two girls (10 and 8) always seem to enjoy taking a cruise in the cars.

The 8-year-old is usually more enthusiastic about helping around the garage, taking pictures of parts for me, cleaning up the cars, etc. She likes the Nova.

The 10-year-old like the Corvette better than the Nova

My son is eight and goes to all the car show's with me. I put the car in his name so when I win a trophy he has to go up and get it! He loves it if you haven't done this for your kid's give it a try trust me it is worth it. He love's the corvette and he can pick one out a mile away. My 5 year old daughter just loves to go fast! Yep I am in trouble with her! This is a picture of my son after a long day at a show. And my daughter telling me to go faster!

He actually had "help Dad in the garage" as one of his chores during the summer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif The first time I took him to John P's garage (about 3 years old) he ID'd every car there. Obviously I was the proud Dad after that. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

His favorite car? He is an El Camino guy. Time to talk to Shor.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

When we're at cruise nights people also get a kick out of watching him fold his hand behind his back to look in an engine bay.. Wonder who he got that from.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif
