Who has children that help them in the garage?

My youngest son helps sometimes. Occasionally we let him paint something and hope he doesn't run it to much.

My 8 year old granddaughter Savannah asked Grandma Nancy "Do you think when Grandpa dies he will leave me his racecar?".

She thinks my '02 ZL1 is a racecar.

Grandma told her that she would have to talk to her Uncle Dusty as it goes to him after Grandpa dies.

I am not planning on leaving it to anyone soon.

My 11 year old Grandson Alex spent some time here last summer (they live in Belgium). Just so happened I was starting the LS-6 project and he asked if he could help. Naturally I had him do all the dirty work underneath and he loved it.Three days later we had the car apart and he had to throw his clothes away and was proud to do it.
Soon after they returned to Belgium and now every time we talk he wants to know where I'm at on the restoration. He also has studied the "internal combustion engine" and totaly understands how it works and can explain it.
He'll be back this summer and wants to take the LS-6 to a car show.
Great bonding experience for us both.

Wow a lot of you guys make me feel old. I haven't had an 11 year old in 11 years. The first time I ever pulled a body off a Camaro my oldest son, 15 at the time now 26 was right there with me and his help was much needed. He does have the unique distinction of having learn to drive a manual trans in a 61 Corvette. I think I learned to drive a manual is a Valiant.

I don't have any kids and the Wife & I are not planning any.. But I have a year and a half old nephew who I think will be into the hobby. His Dad, my Brother In Law, is a mechanic and he is already being exposed to cars, trucks and mechanical things..

Once he is a little older I plan on taking him out for rides in the Nova, taking him to car shows/cruises and to the race track.. I think it is great to get young kids involved in the hobby. I became interested in it by about age 14. My old neighbor while I was growing up, who is about 10 years older than me, was a "gearhead" and was always playing around with different Chevys. He had old Novas, Chevelles, Vettes and Camaros. His Dad was a salesman at a local Chevy dealer. I used to walk over to his house and watch him turn wrenches on these cars.. I think this is also what made me a "Chevy Guy".
