Re: Who has children that help them in the garage?
None of my kids got the bug. The only chance I had was with my 9 year old daughter but she prefers her friends now. I knew her interest was going away when I installed a 540 in a 69 Camaro and I wanted to go around the block for the first time. I left the hood off and she was really bothered by that but she still went along . As I was driving I kept hearing a tinny noise as I accelerated. Around the corner before we entered the neighborhood I went to mid throttle and the tinny noise went away because the fan wadded up and made full contact with the radiator then shot coolant across the windshield. The temp gauge shot to the end of the gauge so I shut the motor off and coasted back to house dripping coolant along the way. When I pulled into the drive way and stopped, my Daughter jumps out of the car and runs inside. She finds her Mom and tells her about the horrible things I had just done. She ends the conversation with "what if my friends had seen me".
