Default Re: Who has children that help them in the garage?

well my first wife and I had 4 girls. So when they were in their teens I always wanted the 2 older ones to help with the car to get them involved. They thought it was not cool
to ride around on that antique 70 chevelle yuk!!
Well one day they came to me to get permission to go to their first school dance.I told them there was only one way
they could go.If I drive them to the dance in my 70 chevelle
4 speed m22.No way we are going to the dance with that thing.
Well the only way they could go was to get in the car. So
on friday night about 6 oclock they reluctantly got in the car and I drove to the school, all the while hiding so no one would see them in the car. The school dance was outside
and when I arrived I put the car in first gear and drove into the parking lot at about 15 miles per hour,the trany screaming like a 747 jet and stopped close to the dance crowd. Well before
they could get out of the car all the boys that were dancing
left their partners and came over to the monster car to admire
Asking my kids if that was your fathers car. Boy were they popular at the dance. Then every dance after that I had to drive them.

That Gavin is such a cool kid! Can't wait to see the family again this year.

Holly doesn't really help out in the garage much...but she's riding shotgun 90% of the time we go to Pavillions...LOL

She also will still hold my hand when we walk around at car shows...or the mall. I am enjoying every minute of it...as I know there may come a day when she will be uncomfortable doing it

Its the other way around with me. I'm 23, and I usually have to drag my dad to the garage. He likes cars alot, but not the work associated with them . He's more of the I'll observe while you work type. Alot of times I'll be working on something and often times he asks, do you like doing this? I'm like more than you would ever know.
