Who has children that help them in the garage?

[The Dude]

This is me at age 4 standing in front of my dads 73 4 speed Vette.



This is my boy in my 442.



I used to be the boy helping his dad work on cars, hell I guess I still am. My old man bought a 58 Corvette the week I was born. I bought my Olds when my wife was 4 months pregnant. I think my son will carry on that family tradition. He loves cars more than I do.

Oh, there is plenty in seekonk. The only problem is that half the town is owned by one guy ( kind of ironic that said guy owns the car that won the track championship in their highest weekly division by an ungodly amount ).

During the spring and summer, seekonk has car shows there on some weekends and there tends to be a pretty good crowd. The only real problem with seekonk is the track is wayyyy too small. It makes for a good show, but there is not one point in time on that track where you aren't turning the wheels left.

We have a 4 yo daughter and 9 yo son. Both love going for rides in the "black car" or the "loud convertible". Our son is getting more interested, and I may even let him help change the oil next time. (If his mom lets him get that dirty!). He really wants a Red Ferrari, but he needs a better job to afford that one. My daughter likes the car shows and is a ham with the owners. Really Enjoyed our NIA trip in 2006, looking forward to the next time we can get there. Try to hit a few local shows every year, and the kids would stay all day if we let them!

Can't you feed your kid something better than a wrench?

Started my son out with easy tasks at 4 years old like , bring me a water or coke when I am in the garage or at the track ..



At 13 doing a little clean up on the engine bay . Finished the firewall and inner fenders and now working on the subframe. Kid got dirty and worked hard and did a pretty nice job.




At 15 replacing a broken hinge on the 962 and trying to convince me that driving the 962 wouldn't be much different than driving his kart ...."come on dad, just a short drive I won't even take it out of first gear " !



These are the moments I treasure... I wouldn't care if we were playing with a AMC Pacer just the time in the shop or at the track together .
